There’s a great principle that runs all the way through the Word of God, and it is, “Without shedding of blood there is no remission of sin.” In other words, God cannot arbitrarily or big-heartedly shut His eyes to sin and do nothing about it any more than a judge when there is brought before him one guilty, the judge should apply the law and the penalty should be paid. The important thing is that in God’s universe, why law is inexorable. “And the soul that sinneth, it must die.” Therefore, life must be given up for me, a sinner. You see, the death sentence is on all of us. Now if you will accept Christ by faith, you’ll be saved.
