JESUS MISSION TO SAVE
SINNERS
JESUS warned that he came
to have mercy and not to
lead people to make
sacrifices, he does not want
the sacrifice of the righteous,
but the lives of those who
need mercy.
Sacrifice offered in religious
worship are not what he
came for, he came to show
and bestow mercy upon
sinners- any person who
knows that he is a sinner and
desires the mercy and
acceptance of GOD
JESUS WARNED THAT HE
CAME TO CALL SINNERS TO
REPENTANCE-If a person
does not know that he needs
changing(repentance) he is a
sinner and want to be
changed.
*All have sinned and all are
spiritually sick and needs
healing by the great
physician for help if he
wishes to be healed
JESUS Came to have mercy,
not to gain sacrifice, GOD
demands all that a person is
to have mercy, to forgive and
to cleanse and to make the
person acceptable for
heaven:
JESUS- DOES NOT CALL THE
SELF-RIGHTEOUS
He does not call the self
righteous, self-satisfied, they
feel that they are good
enough to be acceptable to
GOD

SACRIFICE, ANIMAL-OLD
COVENANT-LAW
POWERLESS
GOD has established two
covenant with man, under
the first covenant ( the old
Testament) animals were
sacrificed for man’s sins, the
animal had to be pure and
spotless , having no impurity
or flaw whatsoever, when it
is sacrificed, it symbolized:
§ That a sinless life was
bearing the sin of
men
§ That man’s sins were
being laid upon a
sinless life who was
bearing the guilt and
condemnation of the
sin of men
§ That a perfect and
spotless life was being
sacrificed as a
substitute for sinful
man
However animal are not
perfect, as animal is not man,
it could not be acceptable
substitute for men.
*The perfect sacrifice was
JESUS CHRIST doing the will
of GOD and doing it perfectly
*The perfect sacrifice made
it necessary for GOD to take
away the old sacrificial
system and established the
new covenant, JESUS took
away the first testament so
that he can established the
second testament, the
perfect and eternal way for
sin to be taken away
*The perfect sacrifice sets us
apart through the offering of
the body of JESUS CHRIST
once- for-all JESUS afford his
body as sacrifice for sin, it
was complete, filled and
finished for ever , it perfectly
satisfied the holiness,
righteousness, and justice of
GOD once-for all.
This means when a person
comes to GOD by JESUS
CHRIST, the sacrifice of
CHRIST is applied to the
person, the perfect sacrifice
covers the person’s sin
THE HOLY SPIRIT AS
WITNESS
§ The Holy spirit works
within the believer’s
life and proves that
JESUS CHRIST takes
away the the
believer’s sin by
§ The Holy Spirit
imparts the
knowledge of GOD
and his will
§ The Holy Spirit draws
the believer near GOD
§ The Holy puts the
believer in the
presence of GOD
§ The Holy Spirit Stirs
the believer
§ The Holy spirit
directs, teaches,
guides, and quickens
the believer to know
and to follow GOD
more and more
*The Holy Spirit testifies
that there is no more need
for sacrifice- that JESUS
CHRIST is the perfect and
eternal sacrifice, for sin, the
Holy Spirit give absolute
assurance of Salvation, he is
the security of the Believer
* The Holy Spirit testifies
that GOD forgives sin once
for all, he testifies that GOD
has accepted the believer
and adopted him as a child
THE NEW AND LIVING
FAITH
It is having confidence to
enter the presence of GOD
freely and openly, with
boldness and assurance:
*The torn body of JESUS
CHRIST: Bore the sins and
guilt and Judgment of men
for them
*JESUS CHRIST free man
from sin and guilt by his torn
body
*That JESUS CHRIST opens
the way for man to enter
GODs’ presence by his rent
body
