All right, Hebrews 10 10 26 says this for if we sin willfully
After that, we have received the knowledge of the truth
There remaineth no more sacrifice for sins. So a lot of people will try to use this portion of Scripture to teach that
You can lose your salvation, right?
Because when they read this verse
They interpret it as well if we're living in willful sin
There remaineth no more sacrifice for sins. In other words, you're not gonna have forgiveness
But again back to my prior point when we're talking about divorce when you study subjects in the Bible
You have to take a holistic approach to it
You got to see what the whole entire Word of God says because what is he referring to?
When he says there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins. He's not referring to the sacrifice that Jesus Christ made
Obviously the callback is to the literal animal sacrifices of the Old Testament now, let me just give you a brief
Description of how that worked in the Old Testament. Okay under the Mosaic law the Levitical law
There were animal sacrifices and these animal sacrifices according to the Bible were made to atone
for the sins of man, okay
Now these were daily sins the sins of the flesh the sins of the body
Okay, in other words if a if a person committed a sin, for example
They defrauded their brother or you know, they they lusted or they stole whatever it may have been any kind any type of sin
they were required to
Do to make a burnt offering of a lamb or of a goat?
the high priest would come and lay his hands upon the goat and put the sins upon that person upon that go and
You know, they would either sacrifice it or it would become a scapegoat, but they were to offer a a literal animal
For the sins of the flesh
Okay
Now, let me explain something. This does not mean that they were getting saved like every single day
Okay, because obviously the Bible says that Abraham believed God and it was counted unto him for righteousness and Abraham came before the Mosaic law
So that means that Abraham was saved by faith because he believed God it was counted unto him for righteousness
David who still under that Old Testament law
The he described the blessedness of the man to whom the Lord imputed righteousness without work saying blessed is the man to whom the Lord
You know whose sins are covered whose iniquities are forgiven so on and so forth, you know to whom the Lord will not impute sin
So he's under that Levitical law of animal sacrifices
So here's the thing people got saved by believing on the Lord in the Old Testament
But as far as the atonement for the daily sins that they would commit
The
Carnal ordinance that was imposed upon them during that time was for them to offer an animal sacrifice for the daily sins. This is why
Sacrifices were made in the morning at night weekly monthly. Why because people sin every single day
Now we don't have that today now do we but what do we have today?
We have first John 1 9 that says if we confess our sins
He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness
In the Old Testament you would offer the animal sacrifice
You would go to the high priest and he would confess your sins on your behalf upon that goat
Well in the New Testament, we have a better mediator, which is established upon better promises
Jesus Christ has now taken the place of the high priest and we as the royal priesthood are able to go to Jesus Christ and
Basically receive the forgiveness of daily sins that we commit now
God has forgiven us of all of our sins past present and future so that we don't receive the punishment of hell
but if we don't want to receive the punishment on
This earth for the sins that we do on a daily basis
The Bible says we were supposed to confess our sins to forsake them to receive that
So when the Bible says if we sin willfully after that we see the knowledge of truth
There were mean that the more sacrifice for sins. He says you can no longer offer a burnt offering
For your daily sins do you commit that's no longer valid because now we're in the New Testament
Which the Bible also describes as the New Covenant
