Good morning. For this
reason He is the mediator of a new covenant, in order that since a death has
taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were committed under
the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the
eternal inheritance. Under the old covenant every time a sin was committed the
death of an animal had to occur. With the new covenant there was a one-time
offering for sin – Jesus. As a result, we who have been called receive the
promise of the eternal inheritance. If we inherit something from someone while
we are alive, the inheritance lasts only while we're still living. This
inheritance lasts even after we die. Where there is a covenant there must of
necessity be the death of the one who made it. For a covenant is valid only
when men are dead, for it is never enforced while the one who made it lives.
While they are alive, they don't need a covenant. It is only after that they
are dead that you need a document stating the agreement. While they are alive,
they keep it on their own honor. He then talks about Moses sprinkling blood on
everything to cleanse it. He then mentions that Jesus offered Himself only
once. He does not need to do it year after year like the blood of animals was
needed by the high priest every year. In as much as it is appointed for man to
die once and after that comes judgment, so Christ also, having been offered
once to bear the sins of many, He shall appear a second time for salvation
without sin, to those who eagerly await Him. Father thank You that Jesus
offered Himself for our sins. Through Him we have an eternal salvation and
inheritance.

Good morning. So, was the law a bad thing? We know that the law is good, if one uses it lawfully (not to control people, as some were), realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane…, and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching, according to the glorious gospel of the Blessed God, with which I have been entrusted. I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service, even though I was formerly a blasphemer etc. Yet I was shown mercy because I acted ignorantly in unbelief, and the grace of our Lord was more than abundant, with the faith and love which are found in Christ Jesus. Formerly Paul was good in the eyes of the law, but unrighteous in the eyes of God. Despite that, God was more than able to use him in a magnificent way to bring the gospel to the Gentiles. Father thank You that Your Grace is gre...
