Only One Offering Needed Now


God has brought an end to offerings and sacrifices which people once used to rely upon to make themselves okay with God. There's no more of that. He never liked it in the first place.

He has set that all aside in favor of something far better—the offering of Himself. He has relied completely upon Himself and made us entirely holy already—in perfect condition—uniting us with Himself through the cross and resurrection.

No more earning; only believing. No more striving; only trusting. How cool is that? (Heb. 10:8-10)

The only offering now is you—and that's perfect.

    Amen, Jesus became the guarantee of a better covenant :) Heb 7:22 I'm still thinking about this - such a short note but so full of truth and so deep :)

    Earthly things don't matter, they fade and shatter.
