Bible Note: Agree !! Sacrifice only came about due to sin. God actually did the first killing in the bible to cover Adam and Eve. Symbolic of covering there sins. They tried with leaves but was not good enough so God used animal skins to symbolize the atonement which was to come through Christ. God had a plan as soon as sin entered the world by having His Son to die for sins. NT clearly teaches that blood of animals cannot take away sins. But God used sacrifices in OT to show Israel the pain and suffering of killing Lambs to atone for sins. This punishment placed on an innocent lamb was to show them the burden that Christ was going to have to take on to take away the sins of mankind. That is why God expects us to now live sinless since He has given us the power of the Holy Spirit to overcome temptation. We are to live as Christ and Christ did not sin. That obviously does not mean we are sinners - of course we are - but once we accept the death of Christ we are to "go and sin no more" as Jesus told the woman. In love, Merv |
