Many people have been perplexed by the Bible's teaching that salvation is the result of death. In their minds, this is an oxymoron. Why did the Son of God have to shed His blood to save us? Could He not have designed a better, more attractive way of teaching us the way of salvation? The fact is that since sin is a terrible thing that leads to death (Rom 6:23), only by the shedding of the blood of the Son of God could sin be atoned and shown how painful it is for God. In this booklet, we will learn the role that blood plays in the plan of salvation, and how the different sacrifices in the Old Testament teach us about how God takes care of the problem of sin in the universe.
