When a Christian abstains from blood, he is in effect expressing his faith that only the shed blood of Jesus Christ can truly redeem him and save his life. ​ — Ephesians 1: 7.
Atturēdamies no asinīm, kristietis pauž ticību tam, ka vienīgi Jēzus Kristus izlietās asinis patiešām var viņu izpirkt un glābt viņa dzīvību.
