The Bible is a book of blood. From beginning to end, the Scriptures repeatedly tell us stories of blood and of a God who is worshiped with blood. Have you ever wondered why blood is so important and why God required it? In his book Blood Atonement, author Mel Harness will take you through many portions of the Bible to help you understand the blood trail that goes from Earth into Heaven. When Jesus took bread and said, "This is my body given for you," He then made a distinction with the cup when He said, "This is my blood in the new covenant poured out for you." Understanding the difference between Christ's death and His atonement is key to understanding how the first covenant was amended with a new covenant. When Christ died and offered His blood for sin as a High Priest in Heaven, He covered all sin for all time with one sacrifice for all who come to Him in faith. Blood Atonement will guide you into a deeper knowledge of forgiveness! Mel Harness and his wife Darla have served churches for forty years with their teaching and encouragement of God's saints. They enjoy a large family and gardening in the beautiful Ozark Mountains of Arkansas. You can learn more about Mel's books at melharness.com.
