LIFE OF A CREATURE IS IN THE BLOOD / LEVITICUS 17:11

(KJV) Leviticus 17:11

For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.

This passage reveals the reason for blood sacrifices and how they relate to atonement (a “covering” for sin). The animal’s blood represented its life (Leviticus 17:14). Therefore, the price of atonement for human sin was the loss of a life. Through this substitutionary atonement, God’s plan spared human beings from having to give their own lives. In this way, the blood of an innocent sacrifice (the animal) provided a “covering” for the guilty person’s sin. The principle of substitutionary atonement helps us understand the importance of Christ’s blood in providing forgiveness and spiritual salvation under the new covenant. As Jesus Christ shed His blood on the cross, He substituted His life for the sinner’s life (Romans 5:1). Because His life was perfect and sinless, His blood is priceless and provides a complete covering for all sin. Jesus offers perfect salvation (forgiveness for sin and an eternal relationship with God) for all who accept, trust and follow Him (Colossians 1:13-14; Hebrews 9:13-14; 1 John 1:7; Revelation 7:14).
