From the very beginning of human history, it is revealed.When Adam and Eve sinned, God shed innocent blood in order to make them clothes from animal skin.This is a picture of the covering of righteousness that we received when the Lord Jesus Christ died for us. This is perhaps the most important and vital virtue of the blood. That is the cleansing power of the blood from all sins and the ability to impute to us who accept Christ His righteousness.And this book gives a better understanding of the mystery of blood Ge 4:3 ¶ And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. 4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering: In Genesis four we read that Adam and Eve had two sons, Cain and Abel. They instinctively wanted to worship God. Cain sacrificed the fruit of the ground. Abel had already learned that God demanded blood, so he brought a lamb. This is confirmed by the scripture in Hebrews that tells us Abel offered his sacrifice by faith and the bible tells us Faith comes by hearing. Heb 11:4 ¶ By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. Ro 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. That means Abel must have learnt blood sacrifice by hearing from God or from his father, that without blood there is no remission and the Introduction 2 reconciliation to God in worship and relationship was only possible by the sacrifice of 'the blood'. God accepted the blood of Abel's lamb, but He did not accept Cain's offering.
