Hebrews 9:11-10:18
Inspired thots
Jesus paid for us all! His sacrificial death on the cross is the only offering that is acceptable to God for the sins of the world. (v28)
Only Jesus' offering of Himself can cleanse me from eternal condemnation, if I believe and accept.
v22 Jesus' blood shed in his death makes Him the perfect offering for man's (my) sin. It is a life for a life.
The Law can never make perfect those who want to draw near to worship God, (10:1) for God is holy (1 Peter 1:15)
Sacrifices are just a constant reminder of my constant sinfulness. (10:3)
Only Jesus' blood can cleanse me of all iniquity. (10:10)
Amazing revelation!
If I were to sacrifice material things, I would not be able to cleanse myself or get any credit.
I need to emulate Jesus - self sacrifice; no wonder we are called to be 'living sacrifice' (Romans 12:1)
Only then can I worship God! That will be my spiritual act of worship. Now I see the Scriptures tying in. Praise the Lord!
Once I accept Jesus' self sacrifice for me, I am cleansed and set free from sin.
The only sacrifice God wants of me now is not for sin but to worship Him. (10:18)
There is no longer any sacrifice for sin; now is the time for worship God!
I should not let sin beleagued me daily but set my mind, heart and spirit to worship God.
A daily time out with the Lord Jesus, to hear Him speak to ME. I am asking the Lord to share HIS thoughts with ME, to teach me more about Himself, and how I can be drawn closer to Him... for 'His thoughts are not my thoughts and neither are His ways my ways' Isaiah 55:8,9. This blog is not a theological exegesis. This blog is to record down the INSIGHTS & INSPIRATIONS of God's Word to me; speaking LIFE into my life for Abundant life! :)
