And according to the Law, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. - Hebrews 9:22

Moreover, they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses in which they eat it. - Exodus 12:7

But if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.  If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us.  If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. - 1 John 1:7-9

And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death. - Revelation 12:11
