Heb 10:14

Animals Cant Get It Done

The solution for sins is not animal sacrifice. The repetition of Old Testament sacrifices remembers sins every year. For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

Therefore/so (5):

Heb 10:59

The Will of the Father

Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you prepared for me. Whole burnt offerings and sin offerings you took no delight in. Then I said, Here I am: I have comeit is written of me in the scroll of the book to do your will, O God.

This illustrates the primacy of doing Gods will (7) over the forms of sacrifice (4, 5b).

The posture of priests

Levitical priests stand

The Spirit speaks to us

Heb 10:1518

The Witness of the Spirit

The remission of sins is witnessed to by the New Covenant, and it completes the offerings.

The Holy Spirit is God.

Gods writing His laws into

peoples hearts and minds is a covenant blessing through the Holy Spirit. 1516
