Hebrews 9:22

ForgivenessThe cross and atonementSin

20 saying, “This is the blood of the covenant, which God has commanded you to keep.”

21 In the same way, he sprinkled with blood the tabernacle and all the vessels used in worship.

According to the law, in fact, nearly everything must be purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

23 So it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

24 For Christ did not enter a man-made copy of the true sanctuary, but He entered heaven itself, now to appear on our behalf in the presence of God.
