Under the Old Testament law, a high priest was allowed to go into the inner sanctuary once a year to atone for the sins of the Israelites. And he had to take the blood of the animals sacrificed and sprinkle it there.
GOD knows our extremely sinful natures, and no amount of atoning could or would ever wipe away the sins we commit daily.
So GOD had a perfect plan. HIS sinless Son, Jesus Christ, would come to earth and atone, once and for all for our sins. All our sins, yours and mine, were taken onto that Cross of Calvary and were paid for in full.
Can we therefore, go on sinning. Of course not! Once we confess Jesus as our Lord and Saviour and admit that we are sinners, the Holy Spirit takes up residence in our hearts. This convicts us when we sin.
To go on sinning as if we did not believe is to crucify Jesus over and over.
Let us therefore resolve to listen to the Holy Spirit daily.
Prayer: Heavenly FATHER, I thank YOU that YOU sent Jesus to die for my sins.
FATHER, please fill me with YOUR Holy Spirit. I humbly pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Stay truly GOD and Jesus blessed today!
