Only Jesus Can Save Us From Our Sin - Part 1291

"And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call His name JESUS, for He shall save His people from their sins." Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, "Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call His name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, "God with us." (Matthew 1:21-23)

As it is written, it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. (Hebrews 10:4) Wherefore when He -- God manifest in the flesh -- as a son comes into the world, He said, "Sacrifice and offering I do not desire but a body I have prepared for Myself. In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin, I have had no pleasure in such things. Instead, "Lo, I come [in the volume of the book it is written of Me] to do Thy will, Oh God." (Hebrews 10:5-7; Psalm 40:6-8)

When the Spirit referred to sacrifice and burnt offerings and offerings for sin and stated "I do not desire, neither have I had any pleasure therein" - which things are offered by the law - I now say, Lo, I come [as a Son] to do Your will, oh God. This is the turning point! The point that matters most.

"For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. For then would thy not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins." (Hebrews 10:1-2)

He - God is taking away the first Law covenant so that He - God - may establish the second testament. Read this line again. He - God took away the first Law covenant so that He - God - may establish the second testament. Therefore, by the will of God we are now sanctified through the sacrificial offering of the body of JESUS the Christ (humanity) once and for all.

"And for this cause, He is the mediator of the new testament, that  by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise, it is of no strength at all while the testator lives. Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood." (Hebrews 9:15-18)

Still, in spite of the message, even today, priests stand daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away the people's sins. But this man, JESUS the Christ after He had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, SAT DOWN (the sacrifice now complete) on the right hand of God.

Continuing with verse 16 - "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days," say the Lord, "I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them. And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more." (Hebrews 10:16-17)

In other words, where remission of sin is, there is no more offering for sin, having therefore boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus. Not of ourselves, or our good works, but because of the blood of Jesus are we justified and sanctified.

Therefore brethren, with boldness enter into the holiest of holies by the precious blood of JESUS the Christ which was the very blood of the holy Spirit of God the Father. This is the new and living way, which God in Christ has consecrated for us, through the veil (i.e. curtain) which was a representative of the veil - the curtain of JESUS flesh!

God became our Saviour. The Word that was in the beginning with God and was God was made flesh so that we could have eternal life in Him. Thus, as a consequence, we now have a High Priest over the house of God. His name is JESUS.

Therefore, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. JESUS - GOD MANIFEST IN THE FLESH - SACRIFICED HIMSELF ONCE AND FOR ALL. As such, there is no such teaching in the Biblical scriptures called transubstantiation.

So when we read that JESUS OFFERED HIMSELF ONCE AND FOR ALL saying that IT IS FINISHED, the price for our sin and transgressions was paid in full. This is why JESUS SAT DOWN!

Now it is our turn to choose life. To choose Jesus, putting on His cloak of righteousness through repentance and water baptism in His precious name -- the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. (Acts 2:36-47)

"By Him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name." (Hebrews 13:15)

Stand in the offering plate.
