Studying out the book of Hebrews has helped me appreciate the details of God's plan and the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross and how it all ties up together.
Chap 9 and 10 go into great theology describing of meaning of the high priest and the sacrifices made by him and howz it relates to Jesus and his purpose. Identifying with how people back then had to live of full of sacrifices and gifts in order to remain right with God has produced gratitude in my heart for the once of sacrifice of the blood of jesus. But what's more scary is that salvation was always meant to come with blood. As it says 'without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness'. It's amazing to think that God was also preparing his heart since the beginning of times, through introducing these rules and regulations, to one day have to watch his only Son become the 'real' sacrifice.
Hence the reason why God will not condone those who takes this sacrifice lightly by not changing. For those people, God's avenge his stored. Drawing confidence from what God has done for me, I should draw near to him and hold on to his teachings no matter what. I should not throw away the confidence that comes from knowning that God loves me enough for him to protect me against insults and persecutions. May my heart not shrink back and press on forward, with faith, to attain the goal that is before me: the salvation of my soul.
Amen
