Why is the blood of the covenant important for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

The blood of the covenant symbolizes atonement and the establishment of a relationship between God and believers.

In Exodus 24, Moses sprinkles blood on the altar and the people, which signifies the ratification of the covenant made by God with Israel. This act foreshadows the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, whose blood establishes the New Covenant, offering believers forgiveness and reconciliation with God. The blood represents not only atonement for sin but also the assurance of salvation and acceptance before God. This covenantal blood speaks better things than the blood of animals, securing eternal redemption for those who believe in Christ.
