In 1 Corinthians 5:7, we learn that Christ, our Passover Lamb, has been sacrificed for us. Jesus is the perfect and last lamb that was sacrificed to redeem us from death - from sin and eternal death.
Here are excerpts from Hebrews 9:
So Christ has now become the High Priest over all the good things that have come. He has entered that greater, more perfect Tabernacle in heaven, which was not made by human hands and is not part of this created world.
12 With his own blood—not the blood of goats and calves—he entered the Most Holy Place once for all time and secured our redemption forever.
13 Under the old system, the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a young cow could cleanse people’s bodies from ceremonial impurity.
14 Just think how much more the blood of Christ will purify our consciences from sinful deeds so that we can worship the living God. For by the power of the eternal Spirit, Christ offered himself to God as a perfect sacrifice for our sins.
The blood of Jesus has secured our redemption. He is the perfect and last sacrifice that seals our covenant with God. The first covenant was sealed with the blood of animals - Hebrews 9:18-22. For without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness.
Concerning the blood Jesus shed on the cross for us , Hebrews 9:26 reads But now, once for all time, he has appeared at the end of the age to remove sin by his own death as a sacrifice.
Since the wages of sin is death, Christ by His death has saved us from sin and death. In Him we have the forgiveness of sin and life eternal. As a result, if we believe in Jesus, even when we physically die, we shall live on -John 11:25
