Hebrews 10 Sept 23

Didn't think so.

HAHA

16 “This is the new covenant I will make
with my people on that day, says the LORD:
I will put my laws in their hearts,
and I will write them on their minds


The two parts of this passage that stuck out to me was the putting the laws in our hearts, and laws being written in our minds. The law being written in our minds means that we will remember the laws but that doesn't always mean we'll abide by them. That's where the law in our hearts comes in. God puts the laws in our hearts solely so that we have the will to obey them. Not just to know them, but to truly understand and follow it.

17 Then he says,
“I will never again remember
their sins and lawless deeds.”

18 And when sins have been forgiven, there is no need to offer any more sacrifices.

God doesn't want to remember our sins because we're forgiven anyways, so why would he dwell on them? This is so applicable to our lives because it's so hard for us to turn the other cheek. If the deed is done, and all is well, why do we continue to show hatred, unforgivingness? There really is no point because we can just let go of the past.

Oh my goOoooooooooodness, today was so tiring. I'm even too lazy to go on the computer! Anyway! My cold is going away and I'll have my voice by tomorrow! (y)
But anywaaaaaaaaaaaay!

3 But those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins. 4 It is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

And

26 If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, 27 but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God.

I found this kind of interesting! I always hear "God will wash away all your sins!" And not to worry because he clears away everything.
But these verses are different! They say, no amount of sacrificing is going to completely wash away your sins. Or else, things would be so easy! ...Like, too easy!

I guess it's kind of a reminder not to be so carefree after/before sinning just because you can ask for forgiveness! Don't take it for granted!

Yepyep! That's what I got! So I shall see youy all tomorrow! Or tosay actually! Goooodnigt! Loool (:

sorry for not posting yesterday, my internet was down :/
UH i have a sore throat sigh!
hopefully itll be gone in the morning hehe
8 First, Christ said, “You did not want animal sacrifices or sin offerings or burnt offerings or other offerings for sin, nor were you pleased with them” (though they are required by the law of Moses).
what i got from this verse was that no matter ho hard we try, and even if we givve the best of what we have to God for offering, we will still not reach God's standards. I know this because even back then, there must have been people who wanted to give God thier all, yet God was still unpleased. God is that high above us. Im not saying that God just dislikes everything we bring to him, no thats not the case, bcasue in the bible, it says that he loves the poor womans offering of a dollar more than the rich mans offering of 1000 because the woman was offering the majority of her life savings. God knows on what premise you give your offering, and how much of your heart is actually in it. And since Jesus gave the ultimate sacrifice, i think that he lifts the burden being unable to please God with our offerings? i think that made sense.
overall i just thought that we should give eberything we do for Gpd (which should be everything) our all, because thats even less than he deserves. im going to try to remember that to help me worship God with my actions
im going to collapse im so tired aha night guys

Still hating Strep...... -_-
