The Apostle Paul in his letter to the Roman Church, illustrates the spiritual truth concerning true sacrifices in the Spiritual Kingdom of Yahuah: Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore brethren, by the mercies of Yahuah, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to Yahuah, which is your spiritual worship. It is in the keeping of Passover that we express our faith in The Passover Lamb and keep the memory of Yahusha’s sacrifice alive. That is the spiritual equivalent of “sacrificing The Passover Lamb and pouring the blood of the Lamb over The Altar of Yahuah” which is our hearts/minds. Many say they have “faith in the blood of the Lamb” and then keep Easter. True faith in the blood of the Lamb is expressed by “works” of The Law and Yahuah and Yahusha and Paul all commanded we keep Passover! James 2:18 But someone may well say, You have faith (alone) and (condemn me because) I have works (trying to work my way to heaven legalistically); show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works. We cannot “say” we have faith in Yahusha and then not keep Passover as Yahusha commanded. That is dead faith and if we don’t keep Passover then our faith in The Passover Lamb is DEAD and your sin is not covered as we did not offer the spiritual sacrifice required. If we don’t express our faith by our works of keeping The Passover, the blood of the Passover Lamb is not poured out over The Altar of Yahuah on our behalf. Everyone (even demons) know Yahusha is the Passover Lamb, but how many express that faith in Yahusha by being obedient to his command to keep Passover? Faith expressed through actions of obedience makes us perfect. We see that we are justified not by faith alone, but by faith combined with works: James 2:14-26 14 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. 18 But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. 19 You believe that there is one Elohim. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22 Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed Elohim, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of Elohim. 24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only. 25 Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way? 26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
