Now for the verification of what we have read in John's gospel chapters 14-17 and in 1John 4&5, this supplied by another hotly debated author debated by the religionist's still today. This being the Hebrew witness of all that Jesus had accomplished on the part of Humanity. I shall endeavor to pick it up in chapter 10 in the following verses 10:11-18 (of interest is 15-16) and 10:19-25 (of interest is 19-20). Again using my 1611 translation of the old standard KJV. And again I draw your attention to the words of interest in our prior studies of 8 - 8.06 see if they are within this study.
Hebrews 10:11-18, 19-25 "Every priest stands daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins (stain, the long ago forgotten identity of man, sealed by way of a lie in Genesis 3): but this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand [GOD'S right hand [Heb. 1:3]. He occupies the highest seat of dominion to endorse humanity's innocence! "Having accomplished purification of sins, He sat down!"] of GOD; From henceforth expecting till His enemies (those of unbelief, as He described them in John 14-17) be made His footstool. For by one offering He has perfected for ever those that are sanctified. (The word, hagiazomenous, means sanctify, the present Participle describes the action thought of as simultaneous with the action of the main verb, "perfectly," teteleioken, in the Perfect Tense denotes an action which was completed in the past, but the effects of which are regarded as continuing into the present. [Heb. 2:11] For He who sanctifies and those who are sanctified have all one origin, Gen.1:26-28 and 2.) Wherefore the Holy Ghost also is our witness to us: for after that He has said before, "'this is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, said the Lord, I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.''' (Nothing in GOD'S reference of humanity, reminds Him of sin. Look at Heb. 8:12) Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering required for sin."
Hebrews 10:19-25, "Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way, which He has consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say His flesh; (our own flesh can no longer be a utility of excuse to interrupt the expression of the life of our design. Nor can the power of religion (Gen. 3:15) be an excuse any longer. For; In Gen. 1:26-28, 2:7, 23, Lev. 17:11, Gen. 9:4, Heb. 9:22 is found the answer.) And having an high priest over the house (our bodies) of GOD; Let us draw with a true heart in full assurance of His faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil, guilty conscience (this held there by religion's grip, Gen. 3:15), and our bodies washed with pure (the word of Truth as) water. Let us hold fast the profession of our trusting without wavering; (For He is faithful that promised;) And let us consider one another to provoke to love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; But exhorting one another: and so much the more, as we see the day (the prophetic shadow has been replaced by the light of day.) approaching."
Now look with me to John 1:17 and Luke 22:20 for a moment: John 1:17, "For the law was given by Moses, but Grace and Truth came by Jesus Christ." and now for Luke 22:20, "Likewise also the cup after supper, say, 'This is the cup of the New Testament (Covenant) in My blood, which is shed (spilled) for you.'" Romans 12:1-3. And for good measure look at Romans 8:3-4; "The perfection of the Will of GOD' s doing [Heb. 13:21, Isaiah 53:5, Hosea 6:1-3; Gal. 2:20, Phil. 2], the righteous requirement of the law being fulfilled within us."
Need I say anything else? I think not! For we are but one in GOD'S eyes and thinking. It's about time that we as His house, body, church a family unit, of our Humanity begin to see things GOD'S way not ours or through the rose colored glasses of man's many religions.
