KEY PRINCIPLES FROM THIS MESSAGE:
“Conscience”: it is the point at which a person confronts God’s holiness.
“perfect” – from teleioo – is used in the New Testament to convey the idea of bringing something to its intended goal or state of completion. It often implies a process of maturation or perfection, whether in a moral, spiritual, or functional sense. The term can refer to the fulfillment of a task, the completion of a journey, or the perfection of character.
God DESIGNED OT rituals to be reminders of their sin.
No sacrifice, besides Christ’s, has ever satisfied God’s wrath against sin. Jewish rituals and sacrifices were commanded by God as a show of faith (through obedience) and a recurring reminder of their sin before the Holy God of the Universe; hence, their persistent consciousness of sin.
