Begone, All Other Sacrifices!

Grace Bible Church

Where sins are forgiven by the sacrifice of Christ, there can be no more offering for sin- The sin offering cannot be repeated, because it is finished---The consequence for us is astounding- being made perfect by Christ's sacrifice, and having our High Priest in the Holiest place, where He sprinkled His Own blood for our sins, we are commanded to enter with boldness into that holy place before our God---We are commanded to enter with true hearts of full assurance, being made pure by Christ, and to hold fast the profession of our faith, because God is faithful to keep His promises---But there remain false priests, and blasphemous sacrifices, that Christ has done away with. There are still many who defy Christ, when He has told us that all of the other sacrifices for the forgiveness of sin have been done away with.--The only sacrifice is Christ upon the cross, and the only priest is Christ before the throne of Heaven for us---Plenty of people in this world defy the living God in these matters. Whenever they offer up their own -good works,- like Cain did, or whenever their religion appoints fallen men as so-called -priests,- and other rituals and masses as propitiatory sacrifices, they are trampling upon the blood of Jesus, usurping His priesthood, and overthrowing His offering.--The Jews did this after Christ arose. Their Aaronic priests kept on offering animal sacrifices, which Christ has abolished already.--But soon, God cut off their animal sacrifices completely. He used the Roman tyrants to destroy their temple, and stop their sacrifices in 70 AD.--But some people are still hard at work trying to restart those sacrifices in these days.
