Heb 9 and free bible from John Macarthur
SO Macarthur is the one that gives his bible to anyone that wants it does not ask for cash. It is a blessing to know John Macarthur is a true bible preacher. I do not know of another radio or TV ministry besides Billy Graham who give out free stuff every month and does not beg you for your cash. It is not found in this day of greed that people can go and get free things and if a place does it on free will offerings I think they are the people that spead Jesus. Yes it cost money but I think the message ought to be free. Jesus is not for sale and this blogger thinks if you have to pay to go to a church your in the wrong church. I pay to concerts and I am kind of offended. They ought to take a love offering and call it good. If people are not saved they ought not give and if people in the church do not give out of Love forget taking that cash for your church. One thing in my church Pastor will tell you if your not giving out of Love put the cash back in your pocket because God wants a cheerful giver and no other.
Lets get back to the Word and let it speak to us
Heb 9 11 But Christ came as High Priest of the good things to come, with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation. 12 Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption. 13 For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh, 14 how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? 15 And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.[1]
Jesus is the great and only thing that ever forgave any sin for God. He came as the High Priest of the good things to come. In the old times the people had built a temple where in the holy of holies they had to have one go in and kill something to pay for the sins they did and if they sinned the week after they had to wait a year to get forgiven. They were sinful and did not have the gift we have today and that is the right to go into the Holy of holies and get our sin forgiven every time we sin. Jesus forgives you the moment you confess your sin and God has paid the fine out of the life of Jesus. How much more is the blood of Jesus going to impress God and clean you after you sin. For thousands of years that blood was not shed yet and they had to do it to show the death of Jesus. The lamb was a dumb thing that did not know they were paying for sin. Jesus however gave his life and knew what he was going to do in his death and what it would cost him. The blood of Jesus is his life and death.
In 15 we see that everyone under the old is redeemed by the death of Jesus. Jesus died for all the sin under the first covenant. He died for all the sin and it must have been awful. It goes back to Noah and Abe where God put Abe asleep and walked between the halfs and swore he was going to give a people and salvation to us. That salvation is Jesus and his dead body on the cross and ends with a grave Jesus left.
Note that last phase and that is the people were called. I think it means the one God gave the knowledge of himself. I maintain one cannot be saved unless God choose him to be. It is the Greek word so look it up.
