28. The Blood
The word of “blood” is written seven hundred times in Bible. If blood is drawn from your body, you will die. Like this if you remove the meaning of blood from the Bible, you can’t get eternal life. In the Scripture, it is written “For the wages of sin is death, the blood is the life.” We are supposed to die, detached from God, the source of life and we have fallen into eternal hell by our sins. Only by Jesus’ blood we can reconcile with God and get eternal life. Leviticus 17:11 reads: “For the life of a creature is in the blood, and it is the blood that makes atonement for one's life.” Hebrew 9:22 reads: “without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.” In the Old Testament days, performed a religious service was performed by animals’ blood but Jesus, the Son of God, came to earth in the flesh, was crucified, and shed his blood for our sins. Now, whoever believes in Jesus will get eternal life and enter heaven.
