Christ shed his blood (gave his life) for us. Exo 24:8. Lev 17:11. — for the remission of sins — It is interesting to compare this verse with Ac 2:38, “Peter said to them: Repent, and be baptized each of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” The expression “for the remission of sins” in this text is identical, word for word, in the Greek (EIS APHESIN HAMARTION) with “for the remission of sins” in Matt 26:28. Therefore, if baptism is not for the remission of sins (as nearly all evangelicals teach), then Christ did not shed his blood for the remission of sins. Do evangelicals teach that Christ did not shed his blood for the remission of sins?

REMISSION OF SINS. Forgiveness is necessary because all have sinned, destroyed their relationship with God, and are under condemnation (Romans 1:18-32). Forgiveness is the means by which that relationship is restored (Eph 1:7; Col 2:13).
(1) The Hebrew and Greek words for forgiveness denote the concept of “cover”, “forgive”, “annul”, “dismiss”. God’s forgiveness includes: not taking into account the sin that has been committed (Mark 2:5; Joh 8:11), save sinners from eternal punishment (Romans 5:9; 1Thess 1:10), accept them (Luke 15:20 ss), free them from the dominion of sin and transfer them to the kingdom of Christ (Col 1:13), and renew the whole person and promise eternal life (Luke 23:43; Joh 14:19 b).
(2) To receive forgiveness, there must be repentance, faith, and confession of sin (Luke 17:3-4; Ac 2:38; Ac 5:31; Ac 20:21; 1Jn 1:9). In order for God to extend forgiveness, the shedding of blood was required (Hebrews 9:22). So forgiveness is based on the death of Jesus Christ on the cross (v. Matt 26:28; Joh 1:29; Joh 3:16; Romans 8:32). Divine forgiveness is a permanent necessity for believers so that they can maintain their saving relationship with God (Matt 6:12; Matt 6:14-15; 1Jn 1:9).

my blood of the new covenant. The pacts were ratified with the blood of a sacrifice (Gen 8:20; Gen 15:9-10). Jesus’ words here are an echo of Moses’ pronouncement in Exo 24:8. The blood of the new covenant is not the blood of animals, but Christ’s own blood, shed for the remission of sins. See notes on Jer 31:31-34; Hebrews 8:1-13 ; Hebrews 9:1-28 ; Hebrews 10:1-18 ; Hebrews 8:6.

this is my blood. On Passover the blood was shed and smeared on the doorposts and lintel of the house (Ex 12:7). The New Covenant (Jer 31:31– 34) was established with the blood of Jesus, the sinless Lamb of God. Here the cup represents the blood of Christ that was shed for sinners.

28 (1) The fruit of the vine (v. 29) contained in the cup of the Lord’s table is also a symbol of the Lord’s blood shed on the cross for our sins. God’s justice required that the Lord’s blood be shed for the forgiveness of our sins (Heb_9:22).
28 (two) Some mss. add: new The blood of the Lord, having satisfied the justice of God, established the new covenant. In this new covenant God gives us forgiveness, life, salvation and all spiritual, heavenly and divine blessings. When this new covenant is given to us, it is a cup (Luke 22:20), a portion for us. The Lord shed his blood, God established the covenant, and we enjoy the cup, in which God and all that is His are our portion. The blood is the price that Christ paid for us, the covenant is the property title that God gave us, and the cup is the portion that we receive from God.
