There have been many years of teaching against the Temple, the sacrifices, the Levitical Priesthood, and many Christians do not have a positive perspective of them. These teachings have caused a bias that’s lead to a misunderstanding of how Jesus’ death atones for us. The Temple and the sacrifices can help us understand how the suffering and death of Jesus is a mechanism that God uses to extend forgiveness and grace to us.
Because of what Jesus did, God accepts repentance from every wicked person if they truly repent.
Romans 8:17 says, “now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.”
Join us for our discussion about the sacrifices, the death of Jesus, and the suffering of the righteous and why repentance is an important part of salvation:
The suffering and death of the Jesus is a mechanism that God extends forgiveness and grace to us. Atonement is also a part of the relationship healing process between us and God.
Isaiah 53:5-6 says, but he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
1 Peter 2:21 says, to this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.
