Hebrews:10:1-18
Seeker Overlay ON
*
For the law ,
having a shadow of the good to come ,
not the very image of the things ,
can never with the same sacrifices year by year ,
which they offer continually ,
make perfect those who draw near .
*
Or else wouldn '
t they have ceased to be offered ,
because the worshippers ,
having been once cleansed ,
would have had no more consciousness of sins ?
*
But in those sacrifices there is a yearly reminder of sins .
*
For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins .
*
Therefore when he comes into the world ,
he says , "
Sacrifice and offering you didn '
t desire ,
but you prepared a body for me ;
*
You had no pleasure in whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin .
*
Then I said , '
Behold ,
I have come (
in the scroll of the book it is written of me )
to do your will ,
O God .'" {
Psalm strkjv @
40:6-8 }
*
Previously saying , "
Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you didn '
t desire ,
neither had pleasure in them " (
those which are offered according to the law ),
*
then he has said , "
Behold ,
I have come to do your will ."
He takes away the first ,
that he may establish the second ,
*
by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all .
*
Every priest indeed stands day by day serving and often offering the same sacrifices ,
which can never take away sins ,
*
but he ,
when he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever ,
sat down on the right hand of God ;
*
from that time waiting until his enemies are made the footstool of his feet .
*
For by one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified .
*
The Holy Spirit also testifies to us ,
for after saying ,
* "
This is the covenant that I will make with them : '
After those days ,'
says the Lord , '
I will put my laws on their heart ,
I will also write them on their mind ;'" {
Jeremiah strkjv @
31:33 }
then he says ,
* "
I will remember their sins and their iniquities no more ." {
Jeremiah strkjv @
31:34 }
*
Now where remission of these is ,
there is no more offering for sin .
