Hebrews 9

Our life is in our blood. It carries the power of oxygen to our entire body. It has within it elements for the healing of our body. Our health depends upon it. It is critical.

Sin brings death. God, our Creator, says whatever sins must die. The Old Covenant said you could take the life of an animal to take your place if you sinned. The animal’s blood satisfied the Creator’s requirement. Christ’s blood does just that – it takes the place of your blood and satisfies the Creator.

This is why we sing songs about the power of Christ’s blood. We owe our lives to it.
