In the new covenant, Christ is the mediator of the forgiveness of sins and the abolishment of sin by sacrifices of Himself. 

This eliminates the need for animal sacrifices, which were necessary in the old covenant. Christ’s sacrifice was the only sacrifice that could take away the sins of all mankind. His death was a once-and-for-all sacrifice, and it did not need to be repeated,( Hebrew 7:26-28)’For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people’s: for this he did once, when he offered up himself; His sacrifice was the perfect and complete sacrifice, and it fulfilled the law of the Old Testament.  Through His death and resurrection, He has made a way for us to be reconciled with God. He fulfilled the law and provided an eternal atonement for our sins. He gave us the gift of grace, enabling us to live a life of holiness and righteousness. We are now free from the guilt and shame of sin and can live a life of joy and peace. Jesus also gave us the Holy Spirit, who is our comforter and guide. He helps us to live a life that is pleasing to God and to be a light to others. Through Jesus, we have the hope of eternal life. 

It is instructive to learn from the example of Saul of Tarsus, whose name was changed to(Paul, Saul) was converted to Christianity after his encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus, “(Acts 9:1-19). He was later ordained as an apostle and traveled throughout the Mediterranean region spreading the gospel. He is considered one of the most influential figures in the history of Christianity. writing many of the books of the New Testament. His conversion and transformation are a powerful example of the power of God’s grace. The testimony of his own personal journey and how he was transformed, which he described as a journey of blasphemy, persecution, and insulting the Lord,'(1 Timothy 1:13-14) to how he was transformed,” He was later ordained as an apostle and traveled throughout the Mediterranean region spreading the gospel. He is considered one of the most influential figures in the history of Christianity. writing many of the books of the New Testament. His conversion and transformation are a powerful example of the power of God’s grace.

  •   He was a man who had been deeply changed by the power of Jesus.
  • He shared his story and message of redemption with the world, inspiring many to follow Jesus and be saved. 
  • Saul’s conversion and transformation is a reminder of the transforming power of faith and the power of God’s grace.
  • It is a powerful example of the power of redemption and the power of God’s love.
  • It is a reminder of the power of forgiveness and the power of second chances.

As the head missionary of the church, what was the reason Christ chose the sworn opponent of the church to be its head martyr?

Christ chose the sworn opponent of the church to be its head martyr to show the power of His love, Mercy and grace. He demonstrated that no one is beyond redemption, and that He is willing to forgive even the most severe of sins if repentance and forgiveness are offered. He chose Paul to demonstrate the power of faith and to show that no one is beyond the reach of God’s mercy. He also used Paul to spread the gospel to the Gentiles, and to show that faith can conquer even the most hardened heart. There is no doubt that Christ did this so that no one who trusts Christ is beyond the reach of change. “He sent Paul to show the world that anything is possible with faith and that even the most unlikely people can be saved. He sent Paul to provide hope, courage, and faith to those who were struggling. He sent Paul to show that everyone has a chance to change, (1 Timothy 1:16-17)” 

In choosing the chief sinner to demonstrate what his mercy, grace, and power can do in your life, Christ “changed you, and completely forgave you. He set you free from all your sins and gave you a new life in Him. He also gave you the power to overcome temptation and live a life of righteousness. He gave you the hope of eternity with Him. He promised to be with you wherever you go and to never leave you. He provided you with the peace and joy that can only come from having a relationship with Him and He is your true and faithful friend. He loves you unconditionally and is always willing to forgive you. He is the source of all strength and hope and  He is your Lord and Redeemer. He is worthy of all praise and worship. He is the only true God. He is our Lord and Savior. 

There is a moment in which Paul exalts not himself or anything else but the Savior when he calls the power of Christ which changed him from great sinner to great apostle the “mercy” of Christ, (Galatians 6:14)” But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world..- He acknowledges his own weakness and dependence on God’s power. He also shows that the power of Christ is available to everyone, regardless of their circumstances. Finally, he emphasizes that the power of Christ is free, not earned or deserved.  He encourages readers to accept the power of Christ and to rely on Him for strength and guidance. He reminds us that the power of Christ is available to us  all, and that it should be freely given and received. 

  • He says that the power of Christ is available to everyone, regardless of their background, and we should accept it with an open heart. 
  • We should use this power to help others, and to make the world a better place.
  • We should strive to be an example of the power of Christ, and to share His message of hope and redemption. 
  • He encourages us to live a life of gratitude and faith in the power of Christ. 
  • We must be a light in the darkness and an example of the power of Christ.
  • We must never forget that He is with us and that He is always watching over us. 
  •  He encourages us to trust in the power of Christ and to rely on Him for all of our life’s needs. 

Whenever a person gets the gift of change, it is always a gift, and it is never a wage. 

It can never be boasted upon. It can be sought after like a helpless, undernourished individual seeking nourishment. Change is a precious gift that must be accepted with an open heart and an open mind. It is an opportunity to grow and become a better version of oneself. Change is a chance to become a better person and to reach their full potential. It is a gift that can be accepted by faith in the most profound way, but it cannot be earned, and as a result none of the changes that God gives can be a source of pride,”(Ephesians 2:8-9)’Paul emphasizes that salvation is an undeserved favor (grace) from God that we receive through faith and not by our works. It is a free gift that God offers us salvation since he does not deserve it. As a reminder that we cannot boast in our own efforts, we should be humbled by the generosity and mercy of God that saves us by grace alone, we are reminded to humble ourselves. The more like Christ you become, the more you exalt Christ and not yourself. This humility is essential for true spiritual growth and is the way that Christians can live out their faith. Pride and arrogance are the enemies of spiritual growth and should be avoided at all costs. Humility is the key to unlocking the power of the Holy Spirit and allowing God to work in and through us. It is a sign of true faith and a sign that we are becoming more like Christ. 

In order to redeem us, Jesus entered the Most Holy Place in the heavenly tabernacle, not the man-made tabernacle, but in the very presence of God the Father to redeem us. 

In the new covenant, Christ is the mediator of the forgiveness of sins and the abolishment of sin by sacrifices of Himself. In forgiving and changing people today, Jesus Christ did and still does this in a way of utterly free, sovereign mercy and grace, so that all of his followers will end their lives with the GODGOD word). The purpose of salvation and the change from sin to righteousness is not to make us proud but rather to make us praiseworthy, living’s in boldness, in meekness, and deep humility.  In his willingness to do this, Jesus served as a sacrifice not only for the sins of the world ( A previous time, As of today, and to come) but also for the blessing of all humankind. Jesus’ sacrifice was the ultimate act of love, and his selfless act serves as a reminder of the power of forgiveness and mercy. It is a reminder of how deeply He loves us and how much He desires for us to be reconciled with Him. It also symbolizes God’s unconditional and unending love for us.

It is one of the main objectives of this epistle to the Hebrews to illustrate the superiority of Christ’s eternal High Priesthood as being different and far superior. Aside from being perfect and sinless, Jesus is also unblemished, prure, divine, holy, faultless, and separated from sinners. He is also the mediator between God and man, offering a perfect sacrifice for our sins and mediating a new covenant between God and man. Jesus is also the guarantee of our future salvation, as He intercedes on our behalf before the Father. Jesus is also the source of grace and mercy, and He offers us the gift of eternal life. He is the source of hope and joy, and He is the only One who can save us from our sins. He is the perfect role model and the ultimate example of love and mercy. Hebrews 7:26-28)

His blood served as an entrance fee to intercede on our behalf before God in Heaven ( Hebrews 9:12-14) . He was the perfect sacrifice for our sin, and his blood was the perfect offering for our sins. Through His sacrifice, we have been forgiven and restored to a right relationship with God. And His blood was poured on the Mercy Seat to atone and cleanse us from our sin , This act was a reminder of God’s justice and mercy. It signified that He would accept us despite our mistakes and failures. It also showed His faithfulness and willingness to forgive.

God’s sacrifice serves as a reminder that He is always willing to forgive us and give us a second chance. It is a reminder that His grace is greater than our sin and that He will never leave us. Because He died as a ransom to set us free, rescue and deliver us from all transgressions under the first covenant, He is the mediator guaranteeing our eternal inheritance. He was the perfect sacrifice, taking upon Himself the punishment that was due to us. His death paid the price for our redemption. He is now our High Priest and Advocate, interceding on our behalf with God. ( Hebrews 9:15 ) Through his perfect sacrifice, sin has been eradicated once and for all Jesus’ death has paved the way for eternal life and forgiveness for all who accept Him as their Savior. We can confidently approach the throne of God with our sins forgiven and be assured of His mercy and grace. 

His blood was the price He paid, An offering to complete, My salvation won; paid in full. Then rose the victorious Lamb, To give me life again. Jesus paid it all, All to Him I owe, Sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow. There is nothing timid about his voice as he leads us not into timid discipleship, but into boldness and bold witnessing Through his death and resurrection, we have been freed from the bondage of sin and given a new life. We have been empowered to share the good news with the world and to be a light in the darkness. Let us be bold and courageous in our witness. (Hebrews 10:19 ) And so, dear brothers and sisters, we can boldly enter heaven’s Most Holy Place because of the blood of Jesus. He (Jesus) is the perfect High Priest because he is sinless, perfect, and merciful. He is the perfect sacrifice and the only mediator between God and humanity. He is the only one who can save us from our sins and bring us closer to God. We can say that God chose Jesus as our High Priest because he did not withhold anything from us but sent the very best that he could to fulfill the requirements of both the sacrifice which was required for the forgiveness of sins and the High Priest role, where he offered his sacrifice and interceded for us as well. 

Even more so in light of the fact that our ancestors selected individuals from their ancestral lineage who were susceptible to mortality and sin, whereas God calls Jesus, a sinless and perfect man, to be His Messiah.This demonstrates God’s unconditional love and His willingness to forgive us despite our imperfections. It also shows that He has given us the ultimate example of grace and mercy.  In the entire Bible, one of the most fascinating and marvelous truths is that our sins have been fully paid for, are forever forgiven, forgotten, and removed from all records.This is based on the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who was a spotless and innocent lamb who paid the price for our sins. By accepting Him as Lord and Savior, we can be assured of eternal life and forgiveness 1 Pet. 3:18). . This is an amazing and miraculous gift of God, and it is available to all who accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior. It is a free gift that has the power to change lives.  It gives us hope and the promise of an eternity of joy and peace. It is the ultimate expression of God’s love and grace.

A new legal standing before God, can be obtained (Rom. 4:25, salvation, reconciliation, justification, sanctification, redemption, forgiveness, adoption, It is available to all, regardless of race, gender, or social status. It is available to all who are willing to accept it. It is available to all who accept it with an open heart. It is a free gift grace, given to all who accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. It is available to all who believe and have faith. It is available to all who repent and turn away from their sins. In light of the resurrection, we have been changed to become saints, which means that that once God considered us to be sinners guilty of breaking the entire law,”(James 2:10)” But now, through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, God’s judgment has been satisfied and we are saved. We are no longer sinners, but saints who have been forgiven and reconciled with God. We are given new lives, new purpose, and new hope. As saints, we can now live a life of love and service to God. We are called to live a life that is full of joy and peace, and to share it with others.
