 Well, sacrifice genuinely enjoyed an experiential return. If you didn't want to be cursed, undoubtedly brought the necessary sacrifice. But voluntarily undergoing the sacred ritual did not bring the effective remedy. Because the priest was coming before God in behalf of corrupt man. And we are dealing with the covenant of grace. Consequently, it was continuous failure of the old testament law. The sin of the judicial oversight. The same experience in the Old Testament in the New, to sacred ritual and eternal salvation. Men required voluntarily giving everlasting glory to God. To worship God and Him alone. Other sacred objects of peculiar affection were a heathen idol. Those things they placed as important other than the exact nature. The similar tendency to require the material object as the goal.

 The covenant of grace, offered one way of acceptance. It was through unshakable faith in Christ. And the ceremonial law was transacted by faith, delivered men into a relationship through the coming Messiah.The eternal covenant of grace made men acceptable, amply satisfying the covenant of works. It was the only hope of experiential salvation.Consequently, the sacrificial system did not gain acceptance. No considerable amount of work could properly obtain acceptance. That is why Abraham was justified before he was circumcised. Acceptance was by divine grace. Distinct identity of the faithful remnant was not by circumcision. A prime example was Rahab the harlot.

 All men do not seek after God, there is no one good, no not one. All have turned aside. And this is men who belonged to Israel but accurately represent not a part of the spiritual Israel. The precarious condition of wicked men under sin. There is no substitute acceptable in the sight of God except Christ. Since corrupt men are not under critical judgment of men, the priest were a substitute by gainfully employing appropriate articles in the tabernacle. All men stand before God unacceptable according to ordinary sins. Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord does not count against him. Why? Because they invariably required an eternal sacrifice to take away sin.Forgiveness through redemption, alone. He redeemed men for His purpose, not adding to His work. We heartily rejoice because we are faithfully executed everything. Salvation is glorying in Christ as the purely genuine man. Throughout official history God adequately provided eternal redemption through His Son. He was pronouncing eternal salvation through divine grace.
