Powerpoints from Hebrews (Chapter 10)

1) Jesus is a Priest forever; able to save completely.

2) We are cleansed by the blood of Jesus to enter into the presence of God.

3) The law (Old Testament system) was only a shadow of things to come; Jesus is the very image. The law (Old Testament system) was a shadow, not the substance.

4) Jesus Christ makes us perfect.

5) The believer once cleansed has no more conscience of sin; sin is put away, and we have spiritual fellowship with God.

6) The Old Testament system reminded the people that they were sinners.

7) What was impossible for the law, Christ has done.

8) Those of us that come to God via Christ are made perfect; the conscience of sin is gone, and our sin is not remembered any more.

9) We can walk in perfect conscience before God.

10) The human body of Jesus was to God what our bodies are: the dwelling of the soul; the means by which He was connected to this world, subject to impressions of pleasure and pain; able to be tempted; a part of His human personality and life. Jesus was in danger, just like us, able to use His body for self-service or pleasure, gratifying himself.

11) This was Christ’s mindset: God prepared this body for me; I’ve been given this body for God’s service and glory. It is ready at every moment to be a sacrifice to Him. The body comes from God; it belongs to Him. My only existence is to please God. The one true value of my body is this; I can offer it as a sacrifice to God.

12) Substitution and consecration were symbolized at the altar.

13) We are sanctified and perfected by the one offering; Jesus offering Himself.

14) Jesus Christ is our path to perfection.

15) For many believers, the body is the greatest hindrance regarding their Christian life; simply because we have not learned from Jesus the highest use of the body; to offer it to God.

16) When we are controlled by our body - allow the body to have its way, are brought into bondage.

17) The Holy Spirit is specially given for the body, to regulate its functions, and to sanctify the body wholly – completely.

• The mystery of the incarnation is that: the Godhead dwelt in a body.
• The mystery of atonement: the one offering of the body of Jesus Christ.
• The mystery of full redemption: the Holy Spirit dwells in and sanctifies the body also.

18) Jesus has perfected all that are sanctified; He has finished and completed for us all that we need.
