This document discusses the significance and symbolism of blood in both the physical body and scripture. Physically, red blood cells carry oxygen to tissues and carbon dioxide back to the lungs, while white blood cells fight infection and platelets help with clotting. Scripturally, blood represents life and is required for atonement of sins, as seen in sacrifices and ultimately through Jesus' death on the cross which allows for redemption, justification, propitiation, and washing from sins through his blood.

1. Hebrews 9:22
And almost all things are by the law
purged with blood; and without
shedding of blood is no remission.

3. Oxygen
RBCs collect oxygen from the lungs and release it to the cells
and tissues whereas they take up carbon dioxide from the cells
and tissues and release it to the lungs. Hemoglobin present in
the red blood cells helps in the transport of oxygen and carbon
dioxide to and fro between the lungs and the cells.
Waste collector
WBCs are clear round cells that are bigger than red blood cells.
White blood cells produce proteins called antibodies that help
our bodies fight infections caused by bacteria, viruses, and
foreign proteins.
EMT
Platelets are small cells about one-tenth the size of red cells.
They form a plug or scab to prevent our bodies from excessive
bleeding. They release chemicals that help start the process of
blood clotting.

7. What is so special about blood?
Genesis 4:9-10
9 And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy
brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my
brother's keeper?
10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice
of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the
ground.

8. 1 Peter 1:18-19
18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not
redeemed with corruptible things, as silver
and gold, from your vain conversation
received by tradition from your fathers;
19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a
lamb without blemish and without spot:

9. Purchased with His blood
Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all
the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath
made you overseers, to feed the church of
God, which he hath purchased with his own
blood.

10. Propitiation by His blood
Romans 3:23-25
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the
glory of God;
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the
redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation
through faith in his blood, to declare his
righteousness for the remission of sins that
are past, through the forbearance of God;

11. Justified by His blood
Romans 5:8-10
8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that,
while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood,
we shall be saved from wrath through him.
10 For if, when we were enemies, we were
reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much
more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his
life.

12. Redeemed through His blood
Colossians 1:13-14
13 Who hath delivered us from the power of
darkness, and hath translated us into the
kingdom of his dear Son:
14 In whom we have redemption through his blood,
even the forgiveness of sins:
Ephesians 1:7
7 In whom we have redemption through his blood,
the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of
his grace;

13. Washed in the blood
Revelation 1:5
5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful
witness, and the first begotten of the dead,
and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto
him that loved us, and washed us from our
sins in his own blood,
