Isaiah 53:4-6, 11-12 Jesus bore our griefs, our sorrows, our iniquities, and our sins.
He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.
Hebrews 9:6-14 Christ is both the high priest and the sacrifice to make atonement, cleaning our consciences from dead works to serve the living God
Hebrews 10:1-4 The old animal sacrifices were limited in that the priests needed to offer them repeatedly since they did not make people perfect or cleanse their consciences from sin.
Hebrews 10:10-22 Through Christ’s one super sacrifice, he perfects those who are being sanctified and eliminates the need for any future offerings.
Romans 6:6-7, 11-14, 17-18, 22-23 Because of Christ, we are no longer enslaved to sin; we are liberated to serve God. However, this is a daily decision you must make. Whom will you serve?
