HEBREWS 9:11-15
When Christ came as high priest of the good things that are
already
here, he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle
that is not man-made, that is to say, not a part of this
creation. He did
not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but he
entered
the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood, having
obtained
eternal redemption. The blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of
a
heifer sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify
them
so that they are outwardly clean. How much more, then, will the
blood
of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself
unblemished to
God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so
that we may serve the living God! For this reason Christ is the
mediator
of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the
promised eternal inheritance--now that he has died as a ransom to
set them free from
the sins committed under the first covenant. In the case of a
will, it is
necessary to prove the death of the one who made it, because a
will
is in force only when somebody has died; it never takes effect
while
the one who made it is living.
This is why even the first covenant was not put into effect
without
blood.
