Previously saying, “Sacrifice and offering, burnt offerings, and offerings for sin You did not desire, nor had pleasure in them” (which are offered according to the law), Hebrews 10:8

The rules of the Old Testament are of no use to us, for they have displeased God. Therefore, He gave us the New Covenant. Thus, we do not need to sacrifice calves and lambs to cover sins with the blood of these animals, as the priests did, because Jesus promised not to remember our sins if we accept Him as Savior (Hebrews 10:17). With conversion, we were forgiven and freed from our old mistakes.

Notice, even if animals are no longer sacrificed, many people remain in indignity as if sin had only been covered with the blood of Jesus. Now, He suffered for our transgressions (Isaiah 53: 5), so we can say, “We are free.” Reject all that tries to take the forgiving power of the blood of Christ.

Why allow the feeling that we were not sanctified by the blood of Christ to dominate us? Whoever accepted the Messiah has been able to become a child of God and as such must use this right and declare that, besides no longer being a devil’s servant, now, he is one with the Lord.

We are in the time of grace. Therefore, we no longer have to suffer for months or years for our failures. The Word says: If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1: 9). Therefore, do not blame yourself, just confess your sin to the Lord and stop practicing it, for God not only will forgive you, but purify you. To Him be the glory!

We come to the world to do the divine will. We were not responsible for the actions of Adam, but we will be responsible if we do not believe what the Savior did for us on the cross. Stop swaying and do not let the demon dominate you with his lies. If you confess your iniquities, the Lord will always be faithful and just to forgive you (1 John 1: 9). It is impossible for you to be deceived by evil forces, for the Light has shone in your path.

To do the Father’s will today is to recognize yourself as someone called by Him. If you have accepted this invitation and confessed your transgressions, consider yourself forgiven and free from them. Just as a patient must declare himself healed by the Lord after praying the faith prayer, the sinner who accepts Christ and confesses his errors must declare himself forgiven and free from errors. The devil is unhappy when Christians believe in the Word.

The first Covenant was taken away, it did not forgive anyone, but only covered sin. Now we are in the second, in which we no longer have to tolerate temptations, for we have been set free to enjoy an abundant life. Do only what pleases God. Believe in His Word!

In Christ, with love,
