God had already instituted the law for His people. He wanted more. On His timing, He sent Jesus into the world to redeem humanity. A part of that redemption was Jesus using His own blood to cleanse man once and for all from sin. This simply meant that Jesus put an end to the sacrificial system under the law and put in place the New Covenant based on the sacrifice of Jesus. His blood was sufficient to atone for mankind’s sin and the penalty for that sin once and for all. God wanted to have access to us, and it was sin that separated us from Him.
It is through the blood of Jesus that we can access the throne of God and attain help whenever we need it. The blood of animals gave humanity a temporary right standing, but the blood of Jesus made that right standing permanent. We can still miss the mark, but when we do, if we confess our sin, we can be cleansed from it by that same blood and be cleansed forever. What a great God we serve: a God that wanted to fellowship with us so much, He was willing to sacrifice His only Son so that we can be in right standing with Him. Praise God for His intense love for us!
