Is The Blood of Jesus A free pass to Sin ? No !!
Is The Grace of God an authorization to sin ? No !
Many Christian think that, the New Testament which is the New Covenant by The Blood of Jesus, is less severe than, the Old Testament which is covenant by the blood of animals;
When we read in The Gospel of Matthew 5V17-22= V22 shows us that Jesus has come to reinforce the Old Testament, in other word makes it more severe, when he declared= ” 21 “You have heard that it was said to those of old, `You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.’
22 “But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, `Raca!’ shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, `You fool!’ shall be in danger of hell fire.
In Verse 17, Jesus says= “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.”
We ought to be careful being conscious that Jesus came to sacrificed Himself to save us from Eternal Hell as our soul will live eternally ! Click here to read more about this.
But does the New Testament and The Blood of Jesus give us a Passport to sin ? No !!
Hebrews 10V29=“How much worse punishment, do you think, will be deserved by the one who has trampled underfoot the Son of God, and has profaned the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has outraged the Spirit of grace?
Hebrews 6V4-6=“For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.”
Galatians 5V13=”For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.”
(Read Hebrews Chapters 6 and 10 completely)
And What do Jesus says to sinners ?..<<Go and sin no more !>
John 5V14=”Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, “See, you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you.”
John 8V11=”She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.”
What main changes have The New Testament, which is The New Covenant by The Blood of Jesus brought ?
(I’ll just give only 3 main points )
A– The Blood of Jesus takes away the sin of the world ! (Gospel of John ch 1V29 ), compared to the blood of animal in The Old Testament that only covered the sin (Leviticus 4, 5, 16 etc)
Hebrews 10V4-7 declares=”4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins.
5 Therefore, when He came into the world, He said: “Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, But a body You have prepared for Me.
6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin You had no pleasure.
7 Then I said, `Behold, I have come—-In the volume of the book it is written of Me—-To do Your will, O God.'”
–Fulfillment of Genesis 3V15, and Genesis 22V18= When God said to Abraham= “In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.”
C- Salvation opened to all humanity:
(i)Gospel of John Ch 1V12=“But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:”
(ii)Salvation to The Gentiles also= Romans 11V11=”I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? Certainly not! But through their fall, to provoke them to jealousy, salvation has come to the Gentiles.”
(iii)Hebrew 9V3,7,12) V3=”and behind the second veil, the part of the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of All,” V7= But into the second part the high priest went alone once a year, not without blood, which he offered for himself and for the people’s sins committed in ignorance; V12=”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.”
