Simply put friends, without the shedding of Christ's blood on the cross of Calvary on Good Friday, we would still be headed straight for purgatory or hellfire and damnation; eternal separation from Almighty God! For without the shedding of blood, sinless blood like Christ's no permanent atonement is possible. But Christ, through His selfless sacrifice, changed all that, and brought us back to the Father, justifying reconciling, forgiving, sanctifying etc. etc. so that we could be once again called children of the Most High God. Please, let's recognize the blood's importance in our faith and treat it with the holiness and respect it deserves! Much LOVE!
