The Power Of The Blood

The Bible teaches that the life of man and beasts is in the blood (Leviticus 17:11,14). Because the penalty for sin is death (Romans 6:23), and since life is in the blood, God established the principle that forgiveness of sin comes only through the shedding of blood: "And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission" (from sin) (Hebrews 9:22).
