Ancient Greek and Roman philosophers developed a system of medicine known as Humorism to describe the inner workings and makeup of the human body.
Hippocrates described a system consisting of four humors in the body, with each one determining the temperament of an individual. The more of one substance a person had, the more likely he/she was to have certain traits. In other words, a person’s faults, errors, and crimes were due to his/her bad blood.
In Romans 5, Paul reminds us that “while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly … God shows His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Chris died for.
We as humans do have a blood problem, but it’s not the kind defined by the humorist movement. We are a group of sinners, not because of bad blood, but because of our sinful natures. And the only thing that will bring us true forgiveness and eternal life is the good and perfect blood of Jesus that was sacrificed for you and for me.
