Heb 9:22 “… without shedding of blood is no remission (forgiveness of sin).
The power of blood was seen in the Old Testament sacrifices, (vs 20 “This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.) Moses spoke these words in (Exo 24:8) as he sprinkled the O.T. covenant law, people, tabernacle, and vessels. Even the N.T. covenant (Jer 31:31) was the blood of Christ shed on the cross, (Heb 9:16 “For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.”) Our “testator” (Christ) was the fulfillment of every sacrifice made by man’s hand. Christ’s death disposes man’s effort for righteousness and establishes it on man’s behalf. Though only the high priest could enter the Holy of Holies once a year, by way of blood sacrifice, we now can endlessly enter the presence of God’s Holiness through prayer by the blood of Christ!
There's no atonement in the acts of man, only in the shedding blood of our Saviour… HSAY
