Why is the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus significant?
Answered in 1 source
The sprinkling of Jesus' blood signifies the application of His sacrifice, leading to forgiveness and justification for believers.
The significance of the sprinkling of the blood lies in its representation of the sacrificial system where blood is applied to signify cleansing and acceptance before God. In the Old Testament, sacrificial blood was sprinkled to sanctify the people and the tabernacle. Similarly, Jesus’ blood, when sprinkled upon our hearts, represents the application of His atonement, bringing peace with God and justification to all who believe. This application shifts the believer’s status from guilt to righteousness, affirming our identity in Christ as justified and accepted by God.
