How Could Anyone Receive Forgiveness From Sin? .
9
Hebrews 922

• And almost all things are by the law purged with
  blood and without the shedding of blood there is
  no forgiveness(of sins).

10
Why Blood??

• For the life of a creature is in the blood, and
  I have given it to you to make atonement for
  yourselves on the altar it is the blood that
  makes atonement for ones life.Leviticus 1711

11
The Old Way

• Hebrews 96-10 (New American Standard Bible)
•  6 Now when these things have been so prepared,
  the priests are continually entering the outer
  tabernacle performing the divine worship,
• 7 but into the second, only the high priest
  enters once a year, not without taking blood,
  which he offers for himself and for the sins of
  the people committed in ignorance.
• 8 The Holy Spirit is signifying this, that the
  way into the holy place has not yet been
  disclosed while the outer tabernacle is still
  standing,
• 9which is a symbol for the present time.
  Accordingly both gifts and sacrifices are offered
  which cannot make the worshiper perfect in
  conscience,
• 10 since they relate only to food and drink and
  various washings, regulations for the body
  imposed until a time of reformation.

• Leviticus 1630-34  For on that day shall the
  priest make an atonement for you, to cleanse you,
  that ye may be clean from all your sins before
  the LORD.  It shall be a sabbath of rest unto
  you, and ye shall afflict your souls, by a
  statute for ever.  And the priest, whom he shall
  anoint, and whom he shall consecrate to minister
  in the priest's office in his father's stead,
  shall make the atonement, and shall put on the
  linen clothes, even the holy garments  
• And he shall make an atonement for the holy
  sanctuary, and he shall make an atonement for the
  tabernacle of the congregation, and for the
  altar, and he shall make an atonement for the
  priests, and for all the people of the
  congregation.  And this shall be an everlasting
  statute unto you, to make an atonement for the
  children of Israel for all their sins once a
  year. And he did as the LORD commanded Moses.
• The day of atonement was a solemn day of judgment
  that took place in Israel once each year
  (Leviticus 2327). Every sin had to be confessed
  and forsaken. Those who refused were on that very
  day cut off forever from the camp of Israel
  (verse 29). One goat was slain and offered for
  the sins of the people (verse 9). Its blood was
  taken into the most holy place and sprinkled upon
  and before the mercy seat (verse 14).

15
The Problem With The Old Law

• Hebrews 101-4 For the law having a shadow of
  good things to come, and not the very image of
  the things, can never with those sacrifices which
  they offered year by year continually make the
  comers thereunto perfect. For then would they
  not have ceased to be offered? because that the
  worshippers once purged should have had no more
  conscience of sins. But in those sacrifices
  there is a remembrance again made of sins every
  year.  For it is not possible that the blood of
  bulls and of goats should take away sins.

16
1. The Way to Forgiveness- Christ

• Hebrews 913-14 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  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?
• Matt 2628

17
He Hung There to Take Our Sins
18
1. The Way to Forgiveness- Christ

• Hebrews 1012 But this man, after he had offered
  one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the
  right hand of God
• Hebrews 1014 For by one offering he hath
  perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

19
Hebrews 916-18
2. Jesus Is Our Mediator

• 15 And for this reason He is the Mediator of the
  new covenant, by means of death, for the
  redemption of the transgressions under the first
  covenant, that those who are called may receive
  the promise of the eternal inheritance.  16 For
  where there is a testament, there must also of
  necessity be the death of the testator.  17 For a
  testament is in force after men are dead, since
  it has no power at all while the testator lives.
   18 Therefore not even the first covenant was
  dedicated without blood.  

20
2. Jesus is the Mediator of The New Covenant By
Death

• Mediator  This word is translated from the Greek
  meaning one who intervenes between two .Jesus
  Christ is our Mediator or intercessor. 
• Isaiah foretold the reason the Messiah needed to
  be our intercessor.  There was no one else, who
  could fulfill the role required, a righteous
  person to intercede on humanities behalf with the
  Lord.
• 16 He saw that there was no man, And wondered
  that there was no intercessor Therefore His own
  arm brought salvation for Him And His own
  righteousness, it sustained Him. 17 For He put on
  righteousness as a breastplate, And a helmet of
  salvation on His head He put on the garments of
  vengeance for clothing, And was clad with zeal as
  a cloak. Isaiah 5916-17

3. Only Christ Could Enter Heaven On Our Behalf

• Hebrews 924-26

24 For Christ has entered, not into holy places
made with hands, which are copies of the true
things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in
the presence of God on our behalf. 25 Nor was it
to offer himself repeatedly, as the high priest
enters the holy places every year with blood not
his own, 26 for then he would have had to suffer
repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But
as it is, he has appeared once for all at the
end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice
of himself.
23
4. To Save Us In The End

• Hebrews 927-28
• 27And just as it is appointed for man to die
  once, and after that comes judgment, 28 so
  Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins
  of many, will appear a second time, not to deal
  with sin but to save those who are eagerly
  waiting for him.

4. To Save Us In The End

• Heb 1035-39
• 35 Therefore do not throw away your confidence,
  which has a great reward. 36 For you have need of
  endurance, so that when you have done the will of
  God you may receive what is promised.
• 37 For,  "Yet a little while, and the coming one
  will come and will not delay 38 but my
  righteous one shall live by faith,  and if he
  shrinks back,my soul has no pleasure in him." 39
  But we are not of those who shrink back and are
  destroyed, but of those who have faith and
  preserve their souls.

26
Conclusion

• SIN IS UGLY TO GOD!
• ATONEMENT MUST BE MADE- Jesus Died For Us!!!!!!!

27
Our Warning

• How much worse punishment do you think will be
  deserved by those who have spurned the Son of
  God, profaned the blood of the covenant by which
  they were sanctified, outraged the Spirit of
  grace?
