Our Offerings (Sin Offerings)

Leave a reply 

Under the new covenant our sacrifices are not like what they were under the old. We do not have to offer up burnt offerings, grain and peace offerings,sin offerings, and trespass (or guilt) offerings; however, blood sacrifices are needed for atonement according to the law. In this teaching I shall show how Christ fulfilled the sin offering ceremonial law of  sacrifice. Yet we still have sacrifices to make in our lives.

-- Ceremonial Aspects 

	--- Procedure for any person, specifically the priest

Lev. 4:2-3:: if a person sins unintentionally against any of the commandments of the LORD in anything which ought not to be done, and does any of them,
if the anointed priest sins, bringing guilt on the people, then let him offer to the LORD for his sin which he has sinned a young bull without blemish as a sin offering.

In the first case a sin could be done by anyone but the 3rd verse focuses in on what the anointed priest does wrong.  Notice it is a bull (male cow) that is offered up as the sin sacrifice.

Lev. 4:11-12:: But the bull's hide and all its flesh, with its head and legs, its entrails and offal, the whole bull he shall carry outside the camp to a clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn it on wood with fire; where the ashes are poured out it shall be burned.

Christ himself suffered outside the camp
Heb. 13:11-12::  For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the holy places by the high priest as a sacrifice for sin are burned outside the camp. So Christ also suffered outside the gate in order to sanctify the people through his own blood.

Notice here that Yeshua is equated to the flesh, head, legs, and inner parts. These parts got sacrificed on the cross outside of city gates (either the garden tomb or Church of the Holy Sepulcher).  I know of nowhere in the bible it says Christ's blood was brought into the holy places.  Some say the ark of the covenant was hidden underground below the cross and his blood seeped in from above but that is unproven.

Heb. 10:4-4:: it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.(see Ps. 40:6-8)  Consequently, when Christ came into the world, he said,
“Sacrifices and offerings you have not desired,but a body have you prepared for me; in burnt offerings and sin offerings you have taken no pleasure.

Note that this section is for any person but points to the anointed priest.  Christ was from an ordinary family yet he fulfilled the high priestly function when he was offered up upon the cross.

	--- Procedure for a ruler

First notice a young male goat, unblemished is offered

Lev. 4:22-23:: When a ruler has sinned, and done something unintentionally against any of the commandments of the LORD his God in anything which should not be done, and is guilty, or if his sin which he has committed comes to his knowledge, he shall bring as his offering a kid of the goats, a male without blemish.

	-- Procedure for common people

Now note a young female goat, unblemished is offered

Lev. 4:27-28:: If anyone of the common people sins unintentionally by doing something against any of the commandments of the LORD in anything which ought not to be done, and is guilty, or if his sin which he has committed comes to his knowledge, then he shall bring as his offering a kid of the goats, a female without blemish, for his sin which he has committed.

The sacrifice is normally a female goat but it can also be a female lamb (vs. 32). 


-- New Covenant ideas of Sin Offerings

I also want you to also see something written in the book of Hebrews:

Heb. 10:26-27:: For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries. Anyone who has set aside the law of Moses dies without mercy on the evidence of two or three witnesses. 

You might have known that in all three cases both priest, ruler, and ordinary people sin unintentionally.  There is nothing in Leviticus that spells out a sacrifice for deliberate sin.  Some sin, know they are doing it, but later repent and seek forgiveness.  The law provides no such forgiveness for sin. In fact, certain intentional sins receive either banishment or death.  While Christ fulfilled the law He did not annul it (Matt. 5:18).  In speaking of a new covenant, he makes the first one obsolete. What is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away (Heb. 8:13)

Yeshua even stated this ‘I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come’. (Matt. 12:31-32)

This comes from part of the law:
the person who does anything presumptuously, whether he is native-born or a stranger, that one brings reproach on the LORD, and he shall be cut off from among his people (Num. 15:30).

kāraṯ (kaw-rath') is the verb (Niphal stem) used here to mean to cut, cut off (like a body part) or cut down.

This does not necessarily mean execution but certainly means removing the sinful person from society.  The question I have is does this mean there is no hope for reform? Also, what does presumptuously mean?  The root of the word for presumptuous is hand so the implication here is an action, not just a thought.

Peter spoke to the crowd on the day of Pentecost and told them that they killed 
the Holy and Just One, the Prince of Life in ignorance (Acts 3:17).  Sometimes we act in wrongful ways believing we are justified when just the opposite is true.

We shall learn next week there are certain sins under the trespass offering which can be atoned for by adding appropriate restitution.  We also need to be careful against judging to harshly our neighbors, not casting the first stone because we disagree with their behavior and don’t even know the full story.

I could go on and say much more about our sacrifice for sin.  The bottom line is the world needed a 'yeshua' to save us.  The Jews needed the man called Yeshua HaMeshiach to save them. We also need him to save us. Let us pray as we move into the fall feast high holy days that God makes himself more and more real to our brothers and sisters in the Lord.

Addendum: One cannot replace the sin sacrifice that Yeshua brought us so any sin sacrifices we can offer are spiritual, even symbolic. Apostle Paul told the Romans: I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service (Romans 12:1). This idea of service points back to Exodus 12:25 where the children of Israel were commanded to keep the divine service of the passover which was to remind them of deliverance from Egypt. Today many enjoy the service of the seder, a special meal commemorating the Exodus. Our daily work and offering of our bodies as living sacrifices are a type of service that goes well beyond a meal (offering).

Our Sacrifices (Peace Offerings)

Leave a reply

Under the new covenant our sacrifices are not like what they were under the old. We do not offer up burnt offerings,sin offerings, and trespass (or guilt) offerings; however, blood sacrifices are needed for atonement according to the law. In this teaching I shall show how Christ fulfilled ceremonial requirements for the peace offering. Yet we still have sacrifices to make in our lives.

— Ceremonial Aspects

Fellowship offerings like peace offerings were voluntary sacrifices expressing thanksgiving and fellowship with God. Core text is in Leviticus 3.

Lev. 3:1-3:: Peace offering. When his offering is a sacrifice of a peace offering, if he offers it of the herd, whether male or female, he shall offer it without blemish before the LORD. He shall lay his hand on the head of his offering, and kill it at the door of the tabernacle of meeting; and Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall sprinkle the blood all around on the altar. Then he shall offer from the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire to the LORD.

This sacrifice had to be offered without blemish before the LORD. So was Christ also without blemish?

tāmîm (taw-meem’) does mean without blemish and is complete or whole. The word also means innocent, having integrity.

Heb. 9:14:: speaks of Christ through the eternal Sprit as offering Himself without spot to God

1 Pet. 1:19 describes Christ as “a lamb without blemish and without spot”

2 Cor. 5:19 speaks of “him who knew no sin becoming sin for us” and Heb. 4:15 as “he was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin”

So Christ was indeed innocent and spotless in all senses of the word.

Our response is to mimic Christ in character. This can mean making sacrifices in our lives: our time, our talents, our resources, coming together, etc… We read in Ephesians:
(Christ) might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish (Eph. 5:27).

We read “the priest shall lay his hand on the head of his offering, and kill it at the door of the tabernacle of meeting”. So if Christ fulfilled this, then who laid a hand on his head and killed him?

I once watched a cow get slaughtered in Kenya. It was not a pretty sight. Christ was not killed in exactly the same way you would slaughter an animal (for his throat was not cut). Yet a messianic prophesy speaks about Christ this way:

He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so He opened not His mouth (Is. 53:7)

Yeshua kept his mouth shut before the high priest.

Yet Apostle Paul quoted Psalm 44:22 to speak about Christians in the same way.
For Your sake we are killed all day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter (Rom. 8:36).

We also read ‘the priest shall sprinkle the blood all around on the altar’. Who then sprinkled the blood and where was the altar?

In the past I have said that the cross is the altar for it is the place of sacrifice. Christ’s blood got sprinkled at the base of the cross, not by human hands but because of the crucifixion. Actually, we hear of the curtain of the temple being torn from top to bottom during his crucifixion (Matt. 27:51, Mark 15:38, Luke 23:45). Matthew and Luke provide more detail but the point is triply important because it is mentioned in all three synaptic gospels. It is not that Christ’s throat was cut open but it is more like Abba’s throat is torn asunder, top to bottom.

— Christ the Peace Offerings

We should contrast this to what Apostle Paul said to there church at Ephesus:
Eph. 2:14-16:: For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity.

Let’s not misread this passage. It does not say he abolished in His flesh the law of commandments. It says here he abolished the enmity which is the law of commandments contained in ordinances. I know I am making a big thing of a very small point. The point is the paragraph speaks of breaking down the wall of separation between Jew and Gentile. To say that the law is gone goes against another new testament verse:

For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled (Matt. 5:18).

Since heaven and earth are still here nothing has passed from the law. The point made in Ephesus and elsewhere is that Gentiles are not bound by the law. There should no longer be enmity or animosity between Jew and Gentile. The council of Jerusalem in Acts 15 shows that the early apostles came to such a conclusion.

Peace, like the peace offering, is something that Christ came to create. He was, as the peace offering, without blemish.

The last part of the peace offering is an offering made by fire.

Our Sacrifices (Grain Offerings)

Leave a reply

Under the new covenant our sacrifices are not like what they were under the old. We do not offer up burnt offerings,sin offerings, and trespass (or guilt) offerings; however, blood sacrifices are needed for atonement according to the law. Grain offerings many times were done alongside burnt offerings. In this teaching I shall show how Christ fulfilled the grain offering ceremonial law of sacrifice. Yet we still have sacrifices to make in our lives.

— Ceremonial Aspects (flour, oil, frankincense, and salt)

Lev. 2:1:: When anyone offers a grain offering to the LORD, his offering shall be of fine flour. And he shall pour oil on it, and put frankincense on it.

The grain offering is a voluntary offering, unlike the sin or guilt offerings.

Lev. 2:2:: the priest shall burn it as a memorial on the altar, an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the LORD.

Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma (Eph. 5:2). Christ went to offer himself voluntarily, saying not my will but thy will be done.

Notice next the difference between cooking in a pan vs. a covered pan:

Lev. 2:5:: if your offering is a grain offering baked in a pan, it shall be of fine flour, unleavened, mixed with oil.

Lev. 2:7:: if your offering is a grain offering baked in a covered pan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil.

marḥešeṯ (mar-kheh’-sheth) is a sauce pan or stewpan, a cauldron. NKJV uses frying pan.

It would appear that cooking in a covered pan could include leaven, however, verse 11 shows that all grain offerings must be devoid of leaven.

Lev. 2:11:: No grain offering which you bring to the LORD shall be made with leaven, for you shall burn no leaven nor any honey in any offering to the LORD made by fire.

The reason given is that no burning of leaven or honey can be in any offering to the LORD by fire. I will come back to the idea of honey a bit later on. Apparently if you mead or roll bread while cooking it can minimize or stop the fermentation process. While yeast might still be present you avoid fermentation which is often represented by crusted bread. However, this is not the whole process because the meaded,cooked flour still needs to be put into the fire.

The priest scoops up the flour mixture from the frying pan with three fingers and puts it in the fire. The frankinsence is burned on top of the mixture placed there by the priest. If done correctlty, then there is never any leavening (rising) in the finisthed product.

So this is the spiritual process. If we happen to have leaven in our lives, which is probable since we are born again flesh and blood beings and that sin nature is still in us. God will simmer us in the frying pan so we will not ferment. Fermentation represents sin and we do not want any born again, spirit-filled believer to ferment. When we crust it is like the flesh appearing which is sinful. Rather, the Lord kneeds us and rolls us up in the frying pan of life. When ready our high priest places us into the fire. Done properly we have no leavening so Satan has no hold on our lives throught the firey trials and tribulations that can come our way. Can you now see that the process of refinement is extremely important.

1 Pet. 4:12:: Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you

This is the same reason we see Daniel and the three Hebrew youths not burned in the oven. It is like the three fingers of the priest placing the unleavened dough into the fire. Have you ever considered why the fires of life do not seem to affect some people to a great extent? Here is a secret of the kingdom. The youths did not eat the choice meats at Nebuchadnezzar’s royal court, they did not bow down the the idol the king made of himself, and they did not get burnt in the fire!

Lev. 2:13-16:: Every offering of your grain offering you shall season with salt; you shall not allow the salt of the covenant of your God to be lacking from your grain offering. With all your offerings you shall offer salt.

I want you to also notice there is a slightly different process for firstfruits:
If you offer a grain offering of your firstfruits to the LORD, you shall offer for the grain offering of your firstfruits green heads of grain roasted on the fire, grain beaten from full heads. You shall put oil on it, and lay frankincense on it. It is a grain offering. Then the priest shall burn the memorial portion: part of its beaten grain and part of its oil, with all the frankincense, as an offering made by fire to the LORD.

Remember also, the three wise-men from the east. They brought gifts of gold, myrrh, and frankinsense to the Christ child. These are costly gifts for a king but let’s not forget frankinsense was often used in a grain offering.

Firstfruits is taken from the ear of barley, while it is still green. That makes sense, because the grain has not yet become fully ripe.

Salt is a preservative and adds to taste. We read in Matthew:

Matt. 5:13:: You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.

We, as believers in Yeshua’s atoning blood of the covenant, need to be seasoned with salt so we preserve what is good and add flavor to life. But most importantly so we can provide God proper sacrifices of our lives.

Firstfruits in our lives can be offered as a rather small offerings before the full harvest comes in. Christ himself is our firstfruits (1 Cor. 15:20,23) because he is the first born from the dead. He was raised from the dead on the feast of first fruits day. James 1:18 speaks of us as a type of firstfruits of his creatures. There are firstfruit people spoken about in Revelation (Rev. 14:4) and in Thessalonica (2 Th. 2:13-some manuscripts). Firstfruits does reflect the first of it’s kind. I am not going into depth on firstfruits here, just saying our lives can be a firstfruit right now before actually being raised from the dead.

— Yeshua as the bread of life

The first thing to notice when it comes to Yeshua is that he is an offering from God himself.

John 6:32-35:: Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” Then they said to Him, “Lord, give us this bread always.” Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.

Yeshua wanted to remind us of the offering that God himself gave the children of Israel in the wilderness. The idea that he was calling himself the true bread from heaven does not negate the value of the manna. Truth embodies not only name and semblence but also a nature.

To the Galatians Apostle Paul said: when you did not know God, you served those which by nature are not gods (Gal. 4:8). They might even appear as gods unto us but their nature is fallen, reprobate, even evil.

Demons or devils might resemble God. Lucifer himself is often known as the morning star (shining one or light bearer) but he is not the bright morning star. Truth is a precious commodity for which Yeshua spoke to Pontius Pilot (John 18:38).

But even with the manna given to the children of Israel and fallen from heaven there were stipulations. There were to gather a certain portion for each person. Those that gathered to much shared with those who gathered too little. On the 6th day of the week they were to gather twice as much and baked and boiled it for the day and for the Sabbath day. Some did not listen and leftover manna for the next day and some went our on the Sabbath to look for manna. For it was also a test from the LORD to see if they would walk according to his law (Ex. 16:4). This lesson is not a teaching on the law, nor even on what God provides.

Manna from heaven appeared after the morning frost evaperates but it does not last very long after sunlight melts the manna. There was no need to add oil or frankincense. It is also interesing that Lev. 16:31 said the manna wafers tasted like honey. Honey was not allowed to be burnt in grain offerings because it might also ferment. Honey was in essence supplied by the Lord in the manna. Israel itself was to be a land flowing with milk and honey.

Lessons from manna suggest we should share such that there is equality and that we need a sabbath day of rest to worship the Lord and remember his provisions for the week.

Most importantly, remember that Christ is the firstfruits of all who have fallen asleep under his covering. While manna was stored in the ark of the covenant true manna is given by Christ alone.

Our Sacrifices (Burnt Offerings)

Leave a reply

Under the new covenant our sacrifices are not like what they were under the old. We do not offer up burnt offerings,sin offerings, and trespass (or guilt) offerings; however, blood sacrifices are needed for atonement according to the law. In these teachings I shall show how Christ fulfilled all of the ceremonial requirements for sacrifices. Yet we still have sacrifices to make in our lives.

— Sacrifices Under The Law (Burnt Offering)

Lev. 17:11:: For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.’

A voluntary offering known as the burnt offering is one type of offering.

Lev. 1:3-4:: If one’s offering is a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish; he shall offer it of his own free will at the door of the tabernacle of meeting before the LORD. Then he shall put his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it will be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for him.

ʿōlâ (o-law’) is a burnt offering but the root word is also used for alah which means ascension or steps. We could make aliyah if we were jewish and wanted to ascend onto Israel as a citizen or aliyah to go up and recite from Torah. It is as if we are going up to offer ourselves as a burnt offering unto the Lord.

Lev. 1:5-7:: He shall kill the bull before the LORD; and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall bring the blood and sprinkle the blood all around on the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of meeting. He shall skin the burnt offering and cut it into its pieces. The sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire on the altar, and lay the wood in order on the fire.

We see that in Leviticus that the priest’s sons would bring the blood into the tabernacle and sprinkle it all around the alar by the door of the tabernacle. Christ is the gate and those that want to enter in must go thru him and then they can come in and go out to find pasture (John 10:9). Now a gate is like a door. So why would an altar be by the entranceway? So that those offering might be able to present their offering at the entranceway. Christ is the gate (our entranceway) but the cross is the altar. Christ without a cross does not allow us to enter in. It is his finished work that makes our sacrifices acceptable unto God.

Our skins that is our flesh must be removed. Remember that in the parable of the unfaithful servant the master will return on a day and hour unexpected and cut up the servant and set him in a place reserved for the unbelievers (Luke 12:46). We are likened unto the faithful servant, but our fleshly nature needs removing and our own bodies offered as sacrifice less we get cut up and put into the place of unbelievers.

The fire put on the altar is the fire of the Holy Spirit. He descends from above like on the Day of Pentecost and enlightens upon our hearts and minds and set our world on fire. That is the fire of His spirit. The wood provides the fuel for the fire that consumes our lives when we become the sacrifice. Wood is representative of the cross. The cross itself is a symbol of sacrifice, that of Christ first and our lives subsequenty.

Lev. 1:8-9:: The priests, Aaron’s sons, shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat in order on the wood that is on the fire upon the altar; but he shall wash its entrails and its legs with water. And the priest shall burn all on the altar as a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the LORD

Notice here that the cut up pieces, the head, and the fat is placed are placed in order upon the wood.

While the unfaithful servant would be cut up into pieces by the returning master there is another cutting that we should consider. When Abraham was called to offer up sacrifices in Genesis 15 God brough him five animals. He cut three of them in two and laid them opposite each other. Perphaps the birds were excluded because they could fly or because they were the poor man’s sacrifice. It was the LORD himself who brought a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch between the pieces to accept Abraham’s sacrifice.

It was not just the parts but also the head and the fat placed in order. We are under the headship of Christ who is the head of the church as the husband is the head of the wife (Eph. 5:23). God has his proper order. We are members in particular of his body, the church, which is one body (1 Cor. 12:12). Remember before all of this the wood was laid in order to make the fire. A closer reading of verse 8 indicates it is the wood that is placed in order (in a row) and the pieces, head, and fat placed upon the wood which is already lain out in order. Fat burns brightly so it’s presence will make the flame big.

The entrails and legs are washed with water so as to make them clean. Cleaning the entrails makes sense. We have to remove the empurities in our lives to be a sweet smelling aroma to god.

2 Cor. 2:15-16:: For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing. To the one we are the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other the aroma of life leading to life.

When we do what pleases the Lord we become a sweet smelling aroma of life to those being saved. But the opposite is also true, we might smell like death to those destined to be die for their sins. To the Lord, however, we are always a sweet smelling aroma when we are serving him. Even our gifts to those brothers and sisters in need can be a sweet smelling aroma (Phil. 4:18).

Washing of the legs in water makes no sense until we consider the purpose of legs. For an animal like a sheep or goat or bull all of the weight is carried on four legs. Legs are what holds up an animal and what gets the most contaminated by the ground. It is said ‘how beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news’. (Is. 52:7, Rom. 10:14) so even something that needs cleaning often is beautiful because the good news got carried by foot many times in the past. That is why foot washings was important in the days of Yeshua. Today we might say ‘how beautiful upon the mountains are the communications/texts that bring good news’.

— Isaac as Burnt Offering

The most notable burnt offering is that of Abraham when he offered up Isaac as a burnt offering.

God… said, “Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you (Gen. 22:2).

It was that on the third day that Abraham looked up and saw far off the land Moriah which is also the land where Lord Yeshua got crucified. It was on a mountain that the LORD was to show Abraham where he was to sacrifice his son, his only son. I believe that the LORD was telling Abraham about the crucifixion of Christ during this whole endeavour. It was also on the third day that our own Lord, Yeshua, ascended unto the father in heaven.

If you are a believer in the Shround of Turin scientific evidence indicates it got scortched not by ordinary fire but by supernational fire, the fire of a transformation from body to spirit. Gooing back to Abraham…

It says … Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son (Gen. 22:6).

This is a very specific order for the wood. In Isaac the pieces, head, and fat were not seperated and placed upon the wood because Isaac was not to be the actual sacrifice. Isaac did not even understand his purpose at first and…

Isaac said, “Look, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?” (Gen. 22:7)

Genesis is very explicit here. The lamb becomes a ram which was caught by it’s horns in a bush. A lamb is a baby sheep less than one year old but a ram is a full grown sheep. It was not baby Jesus who died for our sins. Baby Jesus does not save us. He has to first grow up and be tested. We are also like that. We have to grow up and first be tested to be an acceptable sacrifice.

Horns represent strength and power. They are often associated with the idea of refuge; individuals could grasp the horns of the altar to seek mercy or protection.

Two people in the bible took hold of the horns of the altar for protection: Adonijah (1 Kin 1:50), and Joab (1 Kin 2:28). Both were seeking protection from Solomon, who sought to have them killed.

When the sacrifice, like us, are caught in a place where we cannot escape we are like the sacrifice of Isaac. In other words the Lord has caught us for sacrifice. The ram gets sacrificed but we do not necessarily get sacrificed physically. Christ has already died for us and his sacrifice is once and for all

By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. Burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin he has no desire for them nor pleasure in them (Heb. 10:8,10).

Heb. 13:11-12:: For the bodies of those animals, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned outside the camp. Therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered outside the gate.

In the book of James it says that faith without works is dead (James 2:14). Much has been said about grace and how Christ fulfilled the law yet we are not saved by works lest we boast:

Eph. 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.

So we are not saved by works of the law but saved unto good works. Actually we become a law unto ourselves.

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them (Eph. 2:10).

for when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do the things in the law, these, although not having the law, are a law to themselves (Rom. 2:14).

So therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith (Gal. 6:10).

Not only do good for those of faith but for all people because…
According to Apostle Paul. present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service (Rom. 12:1).
