For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh, how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? [Hebrews 9:13-14]
In the olden days, the Israelites had to sacrifice animals, and God covers their sins for one year (Yom Kippur). This verse says this: the blood of Jesus is greater than that of bulls and goats, and if the blood of bulls of goats cover the sins of the people, the blood of Jesus takes away our sins! And hence, we can be declared righteous before Almighty God and enter His house, calling Him, 'Daddy God!'
