About the reference to blood in the Bible. I’m aware that this topic often causes much discussion with non believers, maybe because the importance of it is misunderstood. Without blood there is no life. From the very beginning in Scripture blood is required to atone for sin. It clearly demonstrates the severity of disobeying God. Sin leads to death. Death is the price for sin. Jesus’ death pays that price for those who believe in Him, and gives us eternal life with God. I am so thankful that our loving God both demands and provides the payment for our rebellion against Him, against His commandments, against His plan, against His perfect creation.
