Subject: Are you refering to the thief ? |
Bible Note: Hi Tim, Here's my two cents for what it's worth (probably two cents). BTW, this is not a correction to your post, just an expansion of it. The thief on the cross WAS under the Old Covenant for Hebrews makes it clear that the New Covenant did not go into effect UNTIL Christ shed His blood - Heb 9:17. HOWEVER, this is not a desparity because Heb 9:15 makes it clear that ALL the sins that were committed under the first covenant (Mosaic from Hebrews perspective) were paid for at Calvary. Heb 10:4 states that it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. Therefore, all of the sins committed under the Law were "atoned for", covered, by animal blood, but it is God Himself who did the forgiving because He knew that Christ's sacrifice was already a done deal (slain from the foundations of the earth). Animal blood NEVER forgave anyone - it is God alone who forgives man and in OT times He forgave according to the faith that men had in Him. Animal blood merely pointed to the sacrifice of the Lamb of God who would take away the sins of the world. In conclusion, Heb 10:12 demonstrates that Christ's sacrifice took away ALL sins for ALL men for ALL time (even OT sins and even sins that we here in time have not committed yet). It is truly finished. There is no more sacrifice. "And their sins and there lawless deeds I will remember no more" - Heb 10:17 - not because we don't sin but because Christ's work is done! McGracer |
