Sacrifices - Blood Atonement
The most basic Christian doctrine is that "without the shedding of blood their is no pardon from sins."
(Hebrews 9:22)
God performed the first blood sacrifice for sins:
Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them. Genesis 3:21
Noah: Genesis 8:20-22
Abram: Genesis 15
Abraham: Genesis 22
The crucifixion of Jesus was prophesied: ISAIAH 53:1-7; Psalm 22:15-18; Psalm 34:20
Christ paid the death penalty so that sins could be eternally pardoned:
