Salvation 101: The blood of bulls and goats under the inferior Priesthood and Covenant before Christ could cleanse you from your sin(s) for one solid year! Jesus Christ offered better blood and better promises of a new Covenant and The Father took away the Fisrt that He may establsih the second: Heb 8:12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
Hebrews 8:13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
Heb 9:13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:
Heb 9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? ................
Hebrews 9:15 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.
Developing an abiding righteousness-consciousness if primary to Sonship. We have what is referred to as a "So-great Salvation" in Hebrews Chapter 2:
Hebrews 2:3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;
Receive your forgiveness from God as a gift of grace. Even the faith that was the catalyst for our Salvation was a gift: Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: (the word gift in Strong's Concordance is #1435 - A present; specifically a sacrifice: - gift, offering).
Eph 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
1Jo 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
1Jo 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
Please take time to ponder the 1st Psalm. Corinthians says that when you meet, let EVERYONE bring a Psalm, a hymn, a spiritual song, etc. The Psalms are packed full of the Wisdom of God.
Psa 1:1 Happy is the man who does not go in the company of sinners, or take his place in the way of evil-doers, or in the seat of those who do not give honour to the Lord.
Psa 1:2 But whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and whose mind is on his law day and night.
Psa 1:3 He will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, which gives its fruit at the right time, whose leaves will ever be green; and he will do well in all his undertakings.
Psa 1:4 The evil-doers are not so; but are like the dust from the grain, which the wind takes away.
Psa 1:5 For this cause there will be no mercy for sinners when they are judged, and the evil-doers will have no place among the upright,
Psa 1:6 Because the Lord sees the way of the upright, but the end of the sinner is destruction.
So we are told by our Priestcraft that we are just sinners saved by grace. In my opinion, that is blasphemy! Do we really want to be counted as sinners? Let me ask you, if you are simply a sinner saved by grace, and you will not be able to live without sin in this life; meaning that in death you will finally be set free from sin, then that makes DEATH your Saviour! Scripture calls Death the last enemy. How did Death get to replace Jesus Christ's Work on Calvary and Resurrection as the bringer of sinlessness?
