Heb 10:27 But only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God.
#Beware of divine judgment!
Heb 10:28 Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.
#Lighter Mosaic judgment!
Heb 10:29 How much more severely do you think a man deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God under foot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?
#Heavier Divine judgment!
2 Thess 2:13 But we ought always to thank God for you, brothers loved by the Lord, because from the beginning God chose you to be saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through belief in the truth.

#Embrace the sacrifice of Christ!...
Heb 10:11 Day after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.
#Reject unproductive activity!
Heb 10:12 But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God
#Embrace the sacrifice of Christ!
Heb 10:13-14 Since that time he waits for his enemies to be made his footstool, because by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.

#The new covenant!....
Heb 10:8 First he said, "Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not desire, nor were you pleased with them" (although the law required them to be made)
#The old covenant!
Heb 10:9 Then he said, "Here I am, I have come to do your will." He sets aside the first to establish the second.
#The new covenant!
Heb 10:10 And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
#The once and for all sacrifice!
2 Thess 2:7 For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way.

#Incapable old covenant!...
Heb 10: 2 If it could, would they not have stopped being offered? For the worshipers would have been cleansed once for all, and would no longer have felt guilty for their sins.
#Limiting old covenant!
Heb 10:3 But those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins
#Reminding old covenant!
Heb 10:4 Because it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

#Greater things ahead!...
Heb 9:27 Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment
#Death and judgment!
Heb 9:28 So Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.
#Sacrifice and salvation!
Heb 10:1 The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming — not the realities themselves. For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship.
# Greater things ahead!
2 Thess 2:4 He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God's temple, proclaiming himself to be God.
Let us pray: O Lord, we worship your everlasting majesty in Jesus name

#One time solution to sin!...
Heb 9:24 For Christ did not enter a man-made sanctuary that was only a copy of the true one; he entered heaven itself, now to appear for us in God's presence.
#Heavenly appearance!
Heb 9:25 Nor did he enter heaven to offer himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own.
#One time sacrifice!
Heb 9:26 Then Christ would have had to suffer many times since the creation of the world. But now he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself.
#One time solution to sin!
2 Thess 2:3 Don't let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction.

#Superior divine sacrifice!...
Heb 9:21 In the same way, he sprinkled with the blood both the tabernacle and everything used in its ceremonies.
#The blood touch!
Heb 9:22 In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
#Sacrificial pardon!
Heb 9:23 It was necessary, then, for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
#Superior divine sacrifice!
2 Thess 2:1-2 Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers, not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by some prophecy, report or letter supposed to have come from us, saying that the day of the Lord has already come.

#Activated will!...
Heb 9:15 For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance — now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant.
#Assured eternal inheritance!
Heb 9:16 In the case of a will, it is necessary to prove the death of the one who made it
#Proof of death!
Heb 9:17 Because a will is in force only when somebody has died; it never takes effect while the one who made it is living.
#Activated will!

#Total cleansing by the blood of Jesus!....
Heb 9:12 He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but he entered the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood, having obtained eternal redemption.

Heb 9:13 The blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that they are outwardly clean.
#Outward cleansing by the blood of animals!

#Total cleansing by the blood of Jesus!

#The better covenant!...
Heb 9:9 This is an illustration for the present time, indicating that the gifts and sacrifices being offered were not able to clear the conscience of the worshiper.
#Limited capability!
Heb 9:10 They are only a matter of food and drink and various ceremonial washings — external regulations applying until the time of the new order.
# Pending regulations!
Heb 9:11 When Christ came as high priest of the good things that are already here, he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not man-made, that is to say, not a part of this creation.
#The better covenant!
2 Thess 1:9 They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the majesty of his power

#Special access!...
Heb 9:6 When everything had been arranged like this, the priests entered regularly into the outer room to carry on their ministry.
#General access!
Heb 9:7 But only the high priest entered the inner room, and that only once a year, and never without blood, which he offered for himself and for the sins the people had committed in ignorance.
#Special access!
Heb 9:8 The Holy Spirit was showing by this that the way into the Most Holy Place had not yet been disclosed as long as the first tabernacle was still standing.
#The clear difference!

Let us pray: O Lord, we thank you for the grace of obedience and knowledge of the good news in Jesus name

#The Mercy Seat!...
Heb 9:3 Behind the second curtain was a room called the Most Holy Place
#The Holy of Holies
Heb 9: Which had the golden altar of incense and the gold-covered ark of the covenant. This ark contained the gold jar of manna, Aaron's staff that had budded, and the stone tablets of the covenant.
#The sacred elements!
Heb 9:5 Above the ark were the cherubim of the Glory, overshadowing the atonement cover. But we cannot discuss these things in detail now.
#The mercy seat!
2 Thess 1:7 And give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels.

#Not guilty!...

#Divine enablement!

Postscript
Ecclesiastes 7:29 This only have I found: God made mankind upright, but men have gone in search of many schemes.
God, more than earthly manufacturers, created a perfect mankind; and like every manufacturer, He gave the Bible as the manual. As we brush our teeth and eat every day, so much do we need to look into that manual for daily living and thereby prevent a malfunction inherent in seeking our many devices.

#Methodical covenant!...
Heb 8:13 By calling this covenant "new," he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear.
#Drop the old covenant!
Heb 9:1 Now the first covenant had regulations for worship and also an earthly sanctuary.
#Methodical covenant!
Heb 9:2 A tabernacle was set up. In its first room were the lampstand, the table and the consecrated bread; this was called the Holy Place.
#The Holy Place!
2 Thess 1:6 God is just: He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you
Let us pray: Father God arise and avenge for us in Jesus name
#Life questions and meditation: 1. Are you still burdened by the old covenant?

There is no doubt that these are challenging as well as interesting times; locally and globally. One sure way of excelling and remaining victorious over current circumstances is by spending time and fellowship with God.
Psalm 91:1 counsels us to dwell in the shelter of the Most High, so that we can rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
Our new five-part series for the month of August – “Soar As Eagles!” – explores the theme of benefits inherent in constant fellowship with God in our contemporary world.
To find out how you can plug into a deep fellowship with God and soar above life challenges to become the best God created you to be, join us this and every Sunday of the month.
God bless you.

#Grace to keep the covenant terms!..

#Upgrade to the better covenant!
Heb 8:8 But God found fault with the people and said: "The time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.
#New covenant!

#Maximize the better covenant!....
Heb 8:4 If he were on earth, he would not be a priest, for there are already men who offer the gifts prescribed by the law.
#Heavenly versus earthly priesthood!
Heb 8:5 They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: "See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain."
#Maintain the divine standards!
Heb 8:6 But the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which he is mediator is superior to the old one, and it is founded on better promises.
#Maximize the better covenant!
2 Thess 1:3 We ought always to thank God for you, brothers, and rightly so, because your faith is growing more and more, and the love every one of you has for each other is increasing.
Let us pray: O Lord, we thank you for our increasing faith and love in Jesus name

#Required offering!...
Heb 8:1 The point of what we are saying is this: We do have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven
#Seated in the heavenly places!
Heb 8:2 And who serves in the sanctuary, the true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by man.
#Divine service!
Heb 8:3 Every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices, and so it was necessary for this one also to have something to offer.
#Required offering!
2 Thess 1:1-2 Paul, Silas and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace and peace to you from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

#One time sacrifice!...
Heb 7:26 Such a high priest meets our need — one who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners, exalted above the heavens.
#Holy Intercessor!
Heb 7:27 Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once for all when he offered himself.
#One time sacrifice!
Heb 7:28 For the law appoints as high priests men who are weak; but the oath, which came after the law, appointed the Son, who has been made perfect forever.
#Eternal perfection!
1 Thess 5:28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
Let us pray: Thank you Father God, for your abounding grace in Jesus name

#Total redemption!...
Heb 7:22 Because of this oath, Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.
#Divine assurance!
Heb 7:23-24 Now there have been many of those priests, since death prevented them from continuing in office; but because Jesus lives forever, he has a permanent priesthood.
#Eternal priesthood!
Heb 7:25 Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.

#A better covenant!
Heb 7:19 (for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.
#A better divine relationship!
Heb 7:20-21 And it was not without an oath! Others became priests without any oath, but he became a priest with an oath when God said to him: "The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind: 'You are a priest forever.'"
