Trampling Christ Under Foot

Hebrews 10:26-29: For there is no longer any sacrifice that will take away sins if we purposely go on sinning after the truth has been made known to us. Instead, all that is left is to wait in fear for the coming Judgement and the fierce fire which will destroy those who oppose God! Anyone who disobeys the Law of Moses is put to death without any mercy when judged guilty on the evidence of two or more witnesses. What, then, of the person who despises the Son of God? who treats as a cheap thing the blood of god's covenant which purified him from sin? who insults the Spirit of grace? Just think how much worse is the punishment he will deserve!

Pastor Andrew Lim

*God gave a part to himself
*3 in one are together in unity
*Cut apart and gave it to us -his magnitude of Christ
*God gave us eventhough we did not ask, eventhough we are sinners
*He was not only read to die for us but he gave everything including the glory of heaven
*We need God to show us the way to live
*He did not come from a rich family but worse than an average man
*He came to earth crying and screaming like any of us
*He, the powerful God who created the universe
*was subjected to a 15 year old girl - Mary
*allowed himself to be in that condition because he loves us
*Whatever problems you encounter, God knows -He lived in poverty, having enemies, and parents gave up on him because they think he was crazy.
*The pain, the suffering both emotional and psychological- He sweat drops of blood
*He did it for us to reconcile to God, to become children of God by removing sin
*He became our sin, all the suffering, fogging was the price he has to pay
*At that time, he said the Father and Jesus are one, he turned his eyes away because he was sin. As a result, he was all alone
*Symbolizes the magnitude of Christ love for us

*Imagery of sin in the Old Testament
1. Avert - evil desires in you, lawless behavior
2. Tresspass the boundary God has limited. Knowing the acceptable and the not acceptable.
3. Translated as sin, not living to God's standards
4. Hakamiah - not living up to God's standards

Hebrews 10 -sin

Willfully sin- not repent although they choose to knowing the standards of God
*We might have strong conviction that God wants us to live
*We fail because we are weak in flesh
*Selective ignorance -Choose to purposely ignore
*Willfull sin includes self-righteousness- thinking we are the best, we know everything, we do not need God, we make sin our dol

1. Fail to live out God's standards of holiness
*Sometimes we think we are relatively good
*All unrighteousness is filthy rats, in God's eyes its not about holiness but our actions
-If you look at a person with lust, you already commited adultery
-If you hate a person,you already committed murder
This is God's standard of holiness
*If you allow God to search your heart, you will know how sinful we are

2. Fail to live out to God's standard of service
*Specific things that God alone wants you to do
*We give lots and lots of excuses
*Tho we may willfully sin, but if you come with a willful heart, repentent, he will forget our past and clean us

James 4:8
- Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you.



**Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path**
