One in Messiah Congregation
ONE SACRIFICE FOR SINS FOREVER
Heb.7[ 27] Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once , when he offered up himself.
Heb.9[ 12] Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
[26] For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
[28] So Messiah / Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
Heb.10
[10] By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body
of Jesus Christ once for all.
[11] And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
[12] But this man, Yeshua, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
Rom.6[
10] For in that he died,
he died unto sin once
1Cor.5[7] Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Messiah / Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
Eph.5[2] And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
Phil.4[18] But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God.
Heb.13[16] But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
1Pet.2[5] Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices,
Rom.12[1] I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
LEVITES ARE A SHADOW OF MESSIAH'S PRIESTHOOD
Exod.40[ 13] And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments, and anoint him , and sanctify him; that he may minister unto me in the priest's office.[ 14] And thou shalt bring his sons, and clothe them with coats:[15 ] And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office : for their anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations .
Num.25[ 10] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,[11] Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous for my sake among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy.[12 ] Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace:[ 13] And he shall have it, and his seed after him, even the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God, and made an atonement for the children of Israel.
New Priesthood , other priesthoods
Heb.7
[1] For this
Melchisedec,
king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham
returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;
[2]
To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation
King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem,
which is, King of peace;
[3] Without
father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days,
nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually
.
[4] Now consider how great this
man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.
[5] And verily
they that are of the sons of Levi
, who receive the office of the priesthood
, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according
to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of
Abraham:
[6] But
he whose descent is not counted from them received
tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.
[7] And without all contradiction
the less is blessed of the better.
[8] And here men that die receive
tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.
[9] And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes,
payed tithes in Abraham.
[10] For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.
[11] If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
[12] For the
priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.
[13]
For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which
no man gave attendance at the altar.
[14] For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda
; of which tribe Moses spake
nothing concerning priesthood.
[15] And it is yet far more
evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec
there ariseth another priest
,
[16] Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the
power of an endless life.
[17] For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
Pss.110 [4] The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
Heb.7 [18
] For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment
going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.
[19] For the law made nothing
perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh
unto God.
[20] And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made
priest:
[21] (For those priests were made without an oath;
but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not
repent, Thou art a priest for ever
after the order of Melchisedec:)
[22] By so much was Yeshua - Jesus made a surety of a better testament.
[23] And they truly were many priests, because they were
not suffered to continue by reason of death:
[24] But
this man, because he continueth ever
, hath an unchangeable priesthood.
[25] Wherefore he is able also to
save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth
to make intercession for them.
[26]
For such an high priest became
( for ) us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made
higher than the heavens;
[27] Who needeth not daily,
as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then
for the people's: for this he did once,
when he offered up himself.
[28]
For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity;
but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the
Son, who is consecrated for evermore.
We are priests, Yeshua is the high priest , we offer up spiritual sacrifices
1Pet.2[ 5] Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood , to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ .
[9] But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood , an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
---------------------
Hos.14[ 2] Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips . *( calves are meant here as spiritual sacrifices )
Heb.13 [15] By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.
--------------
Rev.1[ 6] And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Rev.5[ 10] And hast made us unto our God kings and priests : and we shall reign on the earth.
Rev.20[ 6] Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
We are the TEMPLE of God
1Cor.3 [16] Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
[17] If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
1Cor.6[ 19] What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
2Cor.6[ 14] Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?[15 ] And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?[16 ] And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.[17 ] Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,[ 18] And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
