The life of the body is in the blood. God knew this when He determined a plan of salvation that included God becoming our Saviour. Indeed as Revelation points out, they have defeated them by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony. Blood continues to be a signifying component of salvation throughout the ages.
Certainly, in Moses time, it was by faith that Moses commanded the people to keep the Passover and to sprinkle blood on the door posts so that their first born would be protected. The importance of blood is further confirmed in the old covenant (Old Testament) where it is written that "Because of the covenant I made with you -- covenant sealed with blood -- I will free your prisoners from death." (Zechariah 9:11)
In the New Testament, God revealed His plan of salvation whereby we can be reconciled back to God through the blood of Jesus. In fact, our salvation is still sealed with blood when we accept Jesus into our lives as our personal Saviour. Yes, the same God who created the world and all its inhabitants loved us so much that He became man and shed His humanity on the cross of Calvary.
In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. And the Word became flesh. (John 1;1-14) Matthew and John both state that this is my blood that was shed for you. We are saved through the blood of Jesus the Christ. Trust in Him in whom we have redemption and forgiveness of sins. (Collosians 1:14)
Therefore, wash your robes in the blood of the Lamb and let Jesus -- your Lord God and Saviour -- make your robes white. Trust in Jesus in whom we have redemption through His blood the forgiveness of sins according to the riches of His grace. (Ephesians 1:7) All glory to Jesus who has loved us and has freed us from our sin through the shedding of the blood.
