Why the Blood? The Bible's Answer to Forgiveness & Faith

B16L3 📖 What does the blood of Christ actually accomplish — and why does the Bible say there's NO forgiveness without it? This study unlocks the answer from Exodus to Romans. ✝️ In this verse-by-verse study, the crucifixion is examined through the lens of the Passover lamb in Exodus 12, showing how Christ fulfilled every detail of that ancient picture. From the blood on the doorposts to the spotless lamb kept for three days, every element points directly to Jesus. Paul's writings in Romans 3 and Ephesians 1 are opened to show that redemption, justification, and forgiveness all flow through one thing: the shed blood of Christ. Colossians 1 and 1 Peter 1 confirm it — we are redeemed "through His blood." The lesson also tackles the two great absolutes of Scripture: without the shedding of blood there is no remission, and without faith it is impossible to please God — and shows how Romans 3:25 brings both together in a single verse. 🔑 Key Topics Covered: • Why Christ is called "our Passover" — 1 Corinthians 5:7 • The Passover lamb in Exodus 12 as a type of Christ's sacrifice • "For all have sinned" — Romans 3:23-25 and what propitiation means • Redemption through His blood — Ephesians 1:7 and Colossians 1:12-14 • Why Jesus had divine blood even though born of a human mother • "Without the shedding of blood there is no remission" — Hebrews 9:22 • The faith of Abel vs. the rationalization of Cain — Hebrews 11 • The two absolutes: blood + faith — how they work together for salvation 💡 Romans 3:25 propitiation through faith in His blood, Exodus 12 Passover lamb type of Christ, Hebrews 9:22 without shedding of blood no remission, Ephesians 1:7 redemption through His blood, 1 Peter 1:18-19 precious blood of Christ, Colossians 1:14 forgiveness of sins, Hebrews 11:6 without faith impossible to please God, Cain and Abel blood sacrifice. 📖 Les Feldick Bible Study brings you verse-by-verse Bible teaching that makes the scriptures come alive.
