For the Gospel message to really resonate, we must understand the serious problem facing us. Our culture says our greatest need is for an improved self-image or to live up to our potential. As Alistair Begg explains, though, our real predicament is that we are sinners deserving of God’s judgment. Yet Jesus provided the solution! His death on the cross was in our place, and His blood washes away our sins. This is the good news Christians have to offer to the world.
11And every priest stands hdaily at his service, ioffering repeatedly the same sacrifices, jwhich can never take away sins. 12But when Christ2 had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he ksat down at the right hand of God, 13waiting from that time luntil his enemies should be made a footstool for his feet. 14For by a single offering mhe has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified.
15And the Holy Spirit also bears witness to us; for after saying,
16n“This is the covenant that I will make with them
after those days, declares the Lord:
I will put my laws on their hearts,
and write them on their minds,”
17then he adds,
o“I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more.”
18Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin.
