the Blood: necessity of the Blood

the Blood: necessity of the Blood by ric Gustafson


To atone for our sins, we need the blood of  Christ. From the beginning of the Bible to the very end, atonement requires a blood sacrifice.
Blood was necessary to cover sin in the Garden of Eden. Adam and Eve covered themselves in fig leaves but more was required. Skins of animals became their clothes. Atonement for sin cannot be on our own effort. To make the skins for Adam and Eve, blood was sacrificed.
Today, God requires the shedding of blood for the atonement of sin. At the cross, Jesus paid the penalty for our sins. God's Son had to bleed and die so that our sins could be forgiven. We need the blood of Christ to be pardoned by God.
