Without the blood of Christ there is no remission of sins
For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for
it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. (
Leviticus 17:11)
In whom we have redemption
through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: (
Colossians 1:14) (This verse in the NIV omits the blood)
And almost
all things are by the law purged with blood; and
without shedding of blood is no remission. (
Hebrews 9:22)
