LEVITICUS 17
One price. The only price for sin that God will accept is blood, for the blood is the life of the creature. The sacrifice of blood means one life given for another.

One place. While in the wilderness, the Jews had to do all their slaughtering at the brazen altar and make each animal a peace offering to the Lord. (This law was modified when they entered the land [Deut. 12:20–28].) No other place was acceptable to God. The blood of Jesus Christ, shed at Calvary, is the only acceptable sacrifice for sin in God’s sight.
