*THE SINLESS SUBSTITUTE*
_For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins_ *(Hebrews 10:4)*
The Bible lets us know that due to Adam's transgression, every man born into this world was born into sin. It says by one man’s disobedience, referring to Adam, many were made sinners (Romans 5:19). And there was no permanent salvation from sin until Jesus Christ.
To provide permanent salvation, the sacrifice for sin had to be sinless. But there was none. No man qualified. This is why the blood of animals could never save mankind. The sacrifices offered under the Law had to be repeated continually because, as the Bible says, *“it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.”*
An animal is a lower order of being. How then could the blood of a lower being take away the sins of man or purify the human soul? It couldn't. A sinless man had to take our place. That's why the Lord Jesus came into the world. He had to be born of a virgin so His life wouldn't be touched by sinful man. Every human life comes from the seed of a man, but the life of the Lord Jesus came from the Word of God.
The angel came to Mary with God's message, declaring that she would bear a Son who would save His people from their sins. Mary received that Word, and she conceived. The Word of God is seed, and from that incorruptible seed the Lord Jesus was born.
John opens his Gospel with these remarkable words: *“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God”* (John 1:1). This same Word by which God created all things became flesh and dwelt among us. He was the living Word manifested in human form.
Untainted by Adam's fallen nature, He alone qualified to become the perfect sacrifice for the sins of the whole world. Blessed be God! Jesus became the sinless substitute who took your place. Through His perfect sacrifice, you've received eternal life and His righteousness, and have been brought into everlasting fellowship with the Father.
*PRAYER*
_Dear Father, thank you for your wonderful plan of redemption. Thank you for sending Jesus, the living Word made flesh, to become the perfect and sinless sacrifice for our salvation. I rejoice that through His finished work, I’ve received righteousness, and eternal life, and I have been brought into everlasting fellowship with you, in Jesus' Name. Amen._
*FURTHER STUDY:*
*John 1:1 & 14* In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. *14* And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
*Hebrews 9:11-14* But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; *12* Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption [for us]. *13* For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: *14* How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
*1 Peter 1:18-19* Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, [as] silver and gold, from your vain conversation [received] by tradition from your fathers; *19* But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
