Why is the blood of Christ significant in Reformed theology?

The significance of Christ's blood in Reformed theology cannot be overstated; it is the core of our understanding of atonement and forgiveness. The blood symbolizes the price paid for our sins, affirming that Christ’s sacrifice was sufficient to satisfy divine justice. In Hebrews, we learn that it is through His blood that we are justified, teaching us that our righteousness before God is not contingent upon our works but solely on Christ’s enduring substance. This profound truth underscores the Reformed emphasis on the finished work of Christ, assuring believers of their complete redemption in Him. Every accusation of sin before the Father is met with the perfect blood of Christ, providing not just temporal relief but eternal assurance.
