Perfected. Sanctified. Forgiven.
“good things to come”
“true form of these realities”
“It can never”
Hebrews 10:3-4
But in these sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year. For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
Moral defilement cannot be removed by material means.
-F. F. Bruce
Why the animal sacrifices in the first place?
1. Sin deserved death.
2. But animal sacrifices were never intended to take away sin.
“Sacrifices and offering you have not desired”
“a body have you prepared for me.”
“in burnt offering and sin offerings you have taken not pleasure.”
“Then I said….”
“as it is written of me….”
Because of Jesus believers are sanctified!
