Hebrews 10:11-12 (NKJV) And every priest stands ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God
There was a yearly reminder of the sin committed even after sacrificing the goats and calves to God in the Old Testament. The work of the high priest had to be done continuously until Jesus became the ultimate high priest for mankind. Jesus entered into the Most High Place in the heavenly tabernacle with His blood for us. Jesus’ blood obtained an eternal redemption for us thereafter Jesus sat down beside the Heavenly Father. Jesus being our high priest finished what the human high priest couldn’t do with the animal sacrifices. There were no longer sacrifices needed because Jesus had completely dealt with the sin issue. His blood has obtained PEACE with God for us. It is purely God’s grace. It is the work of the redemption that earned us the right standing with God therefore whom God has justified then nobody can condemn. Hence, do not allow condemnation and the accusation of the devil to prevent you from entering in God’s presence daily.
Ephesians 1:3 (NKJV) Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ.
The Apostle Paul being a scholar of the law and understood the freedom achieved in Christ was praying for the believers. He was praying for all to see and understand or have the spiritual insight of how blessed we are to be blessed with all the spiritual blessings in the heavenly places. God has chosen to use Christ to bless us with all the spiritual blessings in the heavenly places. We are hidden in Christ. In other words, we are deemed accepted in the beloved using what Jesus Christ has obtained for us through His blood. This identity is established on our being and not in our doing. It was established on our being in Christ. Jesus has attained everything for us to have the right and the ability to stand righteous before God. He has justified us, and nobody shall be able to bring a charge against us now or in the future. The devil is not able to accuse us before God. It was God who has made us righteous and justified us through the work of Jesus Christ. There is no need to perform on our part but trust in the completed work of Jesus. It is a strong and unshakeable foundation because it has to do with all that God has done for us. It has nothing to do with us because we will never be able to achieve the status given to us. That’s the abundance of God’s grace.
Sermon Series: Spur on One Another
祂的宝血让我们与上帝和好
希伯来书10:11-12凡祭司天天站着侍奉神，屡次献上同样的祭物，这祭物总不能除罪。但基督献了一次永远的赎罪祭，就坐在神的右边。
在旧约时代，即使在把山羊和牛犊献祭给 神之后，每年还是会提醒他们 所犯的罪。大祭司的工作必须持续不断，直到耶稣成为人类至高的大祭司。耶稣为我们带着他的血进入天上会幕的至高之处。耶稣的宝血为我们获得了永恒的救赎，此后，耶稣坐在天父的旁边。耶稣是我们 的大祭司，完成了人的大祭司靠献祭牲畜所不能做的事。献祭已不再需要，因为耶稣已经完全解决了罪的问题。祂的血为我们获得了与 神的和好。这纯然是 神的恩典。正是救赎的工 作，使我们在 神面前获得了正确的地位，因此， 神已经为我们称义， 没有人能够谴责我们。因此，不要让魔鬼的谴责和指责阻止你每天进入神的同在。
以弗所书1：3愿颂赞归与我们主耶稣基督的父神，他曾在基督里赐给我们天上各样属灵的福分。
使徒保罗是一位研究律法的学者，他明白在基督里所得的自由是为信徒祷告。他祈祷所有的人都能看到和理解，或者有属灵的洞察力，我们何等的 蒙福是因为我们得到了在天上的所有的属灵祝福。 神选择使用基督来将天上一切属灵的祝福赐给我们。我们被隐藏在基督里。换句话说，耶稣 基督通过祂的宝血为我们争取到了在爱子里的接纳。这种身份建立在我们在基督里的位份上，而不是我们的行为上。耶稣已经赐予我们了一切，让我们有权利和能力站在 神面前称义。他使我们称义，无论是现在还是将来没有人能控告我们。魔鬼不能在 神面前控告我们。是 神借着耶稣基督的工作，使我们成为义，被看为义。我 们并非靠自己，而是靠主的已竟之工。这是一个强大而不可 动摇的根基，因为它关乎神为我们所做的一切。 这与我们无关， 因为我们永远无法凭一己之力达到我们被赋予的地位。 这就是 神丰盛的恩典。
