The blood shed by the savior
LInk
Jesus Christ gave himself as a sacrifice so that today you and I can enjoy a close, personal relationship with our Father God.
And if you call on Him as Father who without partiality judges according to each man's work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your sojourn here in fear, 18 knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things such as silver or gold from your futile conduct handed down to you from your fathers, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish or spot, 20 who was destined before the foundation of the world but was made manifest in these last times for your sake, 21 through whom you believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.
1 Peter 1:17-21
Without the shedding of blood there is no atonement. It was so from the beginning and it is until these times. The shedding of the blood of Jesus Christ is essential to the Christian faith. If there had been no sacrifice, no one could have an approach to the heavenly Father. This is why God created a great story, joining each of the points until the arrival of Jesus Christ, his death, burial and resurrection for the reconciliation of humanity towards God, working from before the foundation of the world, from Genesis to the apocalypse, the end of time.
The Lord Jesus Christ manifested himself as a savior, thus demonstrating that connection that would be reestablished between God and men through the shedding of blood for the atonement of sins.
If we go through the Old Testament we can observe the instructions for the sacrifice of animals and they were perfect, without defects. In this way God reflected that He wanted everyone to understand that sin would bring with it terrible consequences leading directly to death.
Let us remember the first record of a dead animal in the Bible, it was necessary for the skin of this animal to serve as a covering for Adam after they had sinned.
Later we have observed in the Israelites, they would have to make sacrifices so that their sins would be covered for a year, every time they brought a lamb or a dove to the priest they were directly recognizing that the wages of sin is death.
23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 6:23
In this way from the beginning of time God was teaching what would be the way to redeem man from his sin, later God sent his son to pay the price of sin through death and the shedding of blood once and for all, for all humanity.
We see in the word of God that declares that we have been rescued and not with something that perishes but we have been rescued with the blood of Christ who took the place of humanity just as that perfect animal without blemish and without sin, Jesus Christ intervened in the perfect sacrifice to redeem us from sin forever. Let us be thankful for that!
