And according to the Law, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. (Heb. 9:22)
For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. (Heb. 10:4).
Otherwise, He would have needed to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now once at the consummation of the ages He has been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself." (Heb. 9:28)
In the context of Hebrews 9:18-28 the author argues very forcefully that the animal sacrifices were necessarily inadequate; but that Christ's perfect sacrifice of himself, which he bore the sins of many, was indeed sufficient for the remission of their sins and for securing their unshakeable hope of eternal salvation.
Some other verses you may wish to look at are: Romans 3:25-26; I Peter 2:24; 2 Corinthians 5:21; and Galatians 3:10-14.
This is as far as I will go on this off-topic though.
