When Christ came as high priest of the good things that are - TopicsExpress



          

When Christ came as high priest of the good things that are already here, He went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not man-made, that is to say, not a part of this creation. He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but He entered the Most Holy Place once for all by His own blood, having obtained eternal redemption. The blood of goats and bulls and ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that they are outwardly clean. How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God! Hebrews 9:11-14 NIV. Though you know Christ, you may believe that you have to work hard to make yourself good enough for God. But rules and rituals have never cleansed peoples hearts. By Jesus blood alone (1) we have our consciences cleansed, (2) we are freed from deaths sting and can live to serve God, and (3) we are freed from sins power. If you are carrying a load of guilt bacause you are finding that you cant be good enough for God, take another look at Jesus death and what it means for you. Christ can heal your conscience and deliver you from the frustration of trying to earn Gods favor. Bring your guilt-ridden life to Christ, confess your inability to clean up your own conscience, ask Him to forgive you. Thank Him for His deliverance. God can forgive you and clear your record. NIV Bible study notes.
