Perfect Sacrifice

December 4, 2022 | Pastor Sarah | Romans 6:23; Hebrews 9:22; Hebrews 10:1-26

Big Idea: Jesus has solved your biggest problem.

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Romans 6:23

Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins. - Hebrews 9:22

Atonement = the work Christ did in his life and death to earn our salvation and “at-one-ment” with God

Propitiation = a sacrifice that bears God’s wrath to the end and, in so doing, changes God’s wrath toward us into favor

Sin is a BIG problem:

1- We deserve to die as the penalty for sin (Romans 6:23)

2- We deserve to bear God’s wrath

3- We are separated from God by our sins

4- We are in bondage to sin and to the kingdom of Satan (1 John 1:19)

Why has God solved your biggest problem?

1- LOVE (John 3:16)

2- JUSTICE (Romans 3:25)

3- HOLY-LOVE

How has Jesus solved your biggest problem?

1- Tabernacle (Exodus 25:8-9) = the place where God’s presence dwells

2- Sacrifice (Leviticus 17:11) = “the death of one thing so something else can have a new life” -Tim Mackie

a. Perfect Obedience (Hebrews 4:15)

b. Suffering (Romans 6:23)

Next Steps: Hebrews 10:1-26
