Verse Ref.:
Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house. And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb. Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats. And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening. And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it. And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it. Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof. And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire. And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the Lord's passover. For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the Lord. And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt. And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the Lord throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever. Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel. And in the first day there shall be an holy convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done of you. And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever. In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even. Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land. Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread. Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the passover. And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning. For the Lord will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the Lord will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.

;
And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
;
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
About This Product
WITHOUT SHEDDING OF BLOOD IS NO REMISSION (Hebrews 9:22).
Sickness had suddenly stopped a man’s active business life and kept him from his place in the church where he had a respected role. He had never before considered his own need in the sight of God, or where he would go when he died.
A friend came to see him and mentioned to the sick merchant, “I have more than once been near death, and I can’t describe what peace I enjoyed at the thought of meeting God, simply trusting in the precious blood of Jesus Christ as my only right to be there.”
The sick man raised himself on his elbow and said, “I’ve been thinking about the same subject a lot lately. I haven’t been sufficiently zealous in religion to say I can look into the future as you do. I would give everything I have if I could.”
“Religion gives no right to heaven,” replied his visitor. “Religion never gave anybody peace with God. Only the blood of Jesus Christ can do that.”
The sick man seemed bewildered. He had thought that religion was the very best thing in the world and that when people spoke of “conversion” or “salvation,” they simply expressed in that way, and according to their own peculiar creed, the same thing as he called “religion.” His friend saw his confusion and said, “May I read you a short passage from the Bible?” With permission he read an account of the first Passover.
“They shall take to them every man a lamb. … Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats … and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening. And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it. … For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt … and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the Lord. And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. … For the Lord will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when He seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the Lord will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you” (Exodus 12:3‑23).
“It was the blood shed and sprinkled, the blood trusted, and only it,” he said, “that gave safety to all within the houses that night. All under the shelter of the blood were safe; all outside it were doomed.”
There was a solemn silence in the room as he finished reading, and then the sick man said slowly, with great emotion, “It’s all in the blood. I see it now. I have been trusting to my religion and my own righteousness, but now I see clearly that my only right to salvation is in the blood of Christ.” The merchant lived to testify to others of the precious blood of Christ, the sinner’s only right to enter heaven.
How many think that religion is a savior! How many are trusting in their own righteousness and good works to take them or to help them into heaven, whereas God declares that the precious blood of Christ, trusted in by the sinner, is his only shelter from coming wrath. “The blood of Jesus Christ His Son [God’s only begotten Son] cleanseth us from ALL sin” (1 John 1:7). “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved” (Acts 16:31).
