Blood Protects And Saves The Faithful
People who are unfamiliar with the Bible may find the mention and imagery of blood disturbing at first. Yet blood is important in the Bible, and therefore to Christians, because of what it conveys theologically.
Blood protected Gods people during the Passover, saving them from physical death. The Passover foreshadows the ultimate pass over of Christs death as his blood saves people from physical and eternal death.
When Presbyterian churches paint their doors red, it suggests that Gods people worship in that place. Passing through a red door reminds sinful people that God has mercifully provided a way for the condemned to have new life.
The same God that saved the Israelites from the angel of death and who offered His only son to save people from eternal death itself, is the same God who has saved them and who they come to worship at church that day.

Red symbolizes the sacrificial blood of Christ that saves those who come to him. Red is also a reminder of the Passover and a sign of the Holy Spirit. Church doors began to be painted red as a way of remembering the ultimate sacrifice that others had made for their faith.
The red doors of churches traditionally signaled a place of sanctuary, refuge, and safety. Those in need would not be captured or harmed inside the holy walls of the church, which offered physical and spiritual protection.
Some believe that the doors of the Wittenberg Cathedral, where Martin Luther posted his 95 theses, were red. Red doors on Protestant churches indicate their roots in the Reformation.
Whatever the meaning, many churches today are recognized by their distinctive red doors.
