The blood of the Lamb is required by God to forgive you and me of our sins.

The blood of the Lamb is required by God to protect you and me from eternal death of separation from our God.

The blood of the Lamb is required by God to protect us from His wrath because of our sins.

When we are saved through faith in Jesus and when God looks at us – He does not see our sin. Our sins are covered by the blood of the Lamb.  He sees the shed blood of Jesus, instead of our sin. This is what makes us righteous. It is not our own righteousness that satisfies God’s wrath. It is Jesus’ sacrificial blood on our behalf that makes us right with God.

“Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!”

(NASB) Romans 5:8-9 “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him (Jesus Christ).

In the Passover feast, the blood of the sacrificial lamb was required by God to protect all within the house when the angel of death passed over the land of Egypt… on that one night.

The blood of the sacrificial lamb
(NASB) Exodus 12:7, 22-23 7 “Moreover, they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses in which they eat it.”

22 “You shall take a bunch of hyssop and dip it in the blood which is in the basin, and apply some of the blood that is in the basin to the lintel and the two doorposts; and none of you shall go outside the door of his house until morning.
23 “For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when He sees the blood on the lintel and  on the two doorposts, the LORD will pass over the door and will not allow the destroyer to come in to your houses to smite you.”

Faith in Jesus is the key into heaven~

“…knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers,
19 but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ.”
(NASB) 1 Peter 1:18-19
