TODAY'S BIBLE TWEET

BIBLE TEXT: “And he shall kill the bullock before the Lord: and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall bring the blood, and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.” (Leviticus 1:5)

BIBLE TWEET: Since the wages of sin is death, the sacrifice, to be substitutionary, not only had to die, but its blood had to be shed and sprinkled; otherwise, the sinner could not be pardoned, because his penalty was unpaid. (Romans 6:23)

BIBLE TAKEAWAY: Since the wages of sin is death and life is in the blood, there can be no remission or forgiveness of sin without the shedding of blood. For every sin ever committed someone’s life must be poured out and someone’s blood must be shed, for a just God will see to it that no sin goes unpunished, since He knows that there can be no justice without judgment. Therefore, in the Old Testament, the corruptible blood of animals was shed in place of the blood of sinners, so that sinners could be temporarily forgiven, but in the New Testament, the imperishable blood of Christ was shed in place of the blood of sinners, so that sinners can be forever forgiven. (Romans 6:23; Leviticus 17:11; Hebrews 9:22; Romans 3:21-26; 1 Peter 1:18-19)
