SACRIFICE FOR SIN

 

 

 

Shortly after the fall of man, human rescue plan was unveiled by “his wife's seed" ( Gen 3.15, Gal 3.16 ).

To enforce the plan, Christ had to die for sinners ( John 1.29, 2 Cor 5.21, 1 Pet 3.18, Rev 13.8 ).

The Lord of the believers, the repentant sinners show their faith, SACRIFICE for SIN, faith without works is dead

(Heb 11.6, Jac 2.14-20 ). 

Only clean the victim without blemish, was pleasing to God. They served as the prototype of Christ, pure and immaculate ( Gen 8.20 , Lev 4.8 ). It follows that the law distinguishes clean animals from unclean, was known since the fall of man ( Gen 8.20, Lev 11.1-23 ).

Initially, the Sin offering forgiveness on a special altar ( Gen 8.20, 12.7-8 ), and after the Israeli withdrawal from Egypt it fall on the altar with Saints-College ( Lev 4.1-7 ). A repentant sinner should be putting their hands on the sacrifice for sin, confess your SIN ( Lev 16.21, 4.4 ) and then kill her. Then his sins were forgiven him and he reconciles himself with God ( Lev 24.27-31 ).

In Israel there were special offerings:

for the sin of priesthood ( Lev 4.1-5)

for the sin of society ( v.13-15 )

for the sin of ( v.22-26 )

or the sin of the people ( v. 27, 28, 32, 33 )

The sins of priests and society were in the sanctuary through the blood of the Sin offering, which is sprinkled before the veil ( Lev 4.3-6, 14-17 ).

The sins of the people were in the sanctuary of priests who ate the meat of the Sin offering in the holy place ( Lev  4.23-25, 28-30 ).
