Hebrews chapters 7, 8, and 9 symmetrically describe earthly and heavenly things.
The Law and the New Covenant
Earthly priests and heavenly priests
Earthly sanctuary and heavenly sanctuary
The Law and the Temple are a set.
When humans come into contact with the Law, they realize their sin; the Temple serves the function of forgiving sins and is a place to meet God.
We have Jesus Christ, the High Priest, who follows the order of Melchizedek.
He came from heaven to this earth. He was partaker of flesh and blood like us, was crucified, and died for our sins. And on the third day, he rose again and come back to heaven. For us.
The Lord did not come to this earth for His own sake. The Lord, who is the Word, was with God, is God, and is the One who created all things, in him there is life. He is the Alpha and the Omega.
The Lord came to this earth for our salvation, died, and rose again to become our Lord and Christ, and came back to the Father, to the heavenly sanctuary. He is seated at the right hand of God's throne.
And He sends the Spirit of truth into us and teaches us through the Spirit.
Christ, the Mediator of the New Covenant, is in us, and we are in Christ. We have been transfered from death to life in Christ, and we are alive before God. By faith with baptism we have been raised up with Christ from the dead.
He makes us know that we are one body with Christ through faith with baptism.
As partakers of Christ, we boldly approach the throne of grace and receive God’s mercy and grace to help us in our time. Hallelujah.
By believing that the only Begotten Son is in you, you obtain eternal life.
The Son is in us, the Father is in us, and eternal life is in us.
We have the Son, the Father, and eternal life in us.
God’s grace has been given to us in Christ. Hallelujah.
Only forgiveness of sins is not the goal of faith.
It is to obtain forgiveness of sins by faith and come before the throne of grace with the Lord, see the glory of God, and have the glorious joy fill us. Thus, the goal of faith is that our souls are saved. Hallelujah.
It is to shout out, "Glory, glory, Hallelujah! Glory, glory, Hallelujah!" and sing to the Lord.
By we keep a new Covenant,( the Lord is in me I in the Loed), we receive the Father’s love and the love of the Lord, the Son; thus, the Lord’s life, Lord’s glory are manifested within us. This is mystery of God, Christ.
We must earnestly wait for the light of the Lord’s life to manifest within us. We must wait earnestly until that glory shines in my soul.
"The light shines in my soul, the Lord's glory radiant; his light shines brighter than any light in this world. Please let that light of Your shining glory shine in me, and when I behold your bright face, my soul rejoices."
Therefore, we need prayer, supplication, tears, and lamentation.
By denying myself, taking up my cross, and following the Lord, I obtain the Lord's Spirit and life.
We must struggle to be saved from death and to obtain life.
We must sell ourselves and buy the Lord.
I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me, and we must always confess that Christ, who dwells within me, is the Son of God and my Lord. With the true heart and perfect faith, we approach the throne of grace.
Glory, glory, Hallelujah; glory, glory, Hallelujah. We have victory.
TO GOD BE THE GRORY
