washed in the blood

Redeemed through sacrifice

Washed in the blood is a Christian phrase meaning spiritually cleansed through faith in Jesus Christ's sacrificial death.

The blood refers to Christ's crucifixion.

Someone washed in the blood has been redeemed from sin: Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

The expression appears frequently in hymns and evangelical preaching, sometimes shortened to blood-washed.
