Hebrews 11:28 recounts the faith of the Israelites during the Passover, applying the blood to their doorposts. In that moment, their faith, trust, believing in God’s instructions (His word) saved them from a certain death. Similarly, in this age of grace, our faith determines our salvation. When God sees our faith alone in the gospel— when we believe that Christ’s shed blood, death, burial, and resurrection saves us—He saves us.
Romans 3:24–25, Ephesians 1:7, and 1 Peter 1:18–19 highlight the significance of Christ’s blood, emphasizing that we are saved by grace through faith in His blood. Because without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sins (Hebrews 9:22) Let this truth be a source of encouragement: we are saved by the blood of Christ.
Verses:
Hebrews 11:28

Romans 3:24-25
“being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness.”
Ephesians 1:7
“In Him, we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.”
1 Peter 1:18-19
“knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.”
