Sin and Sacrifice

Nonon View Post
[To another member] So is this proof that we don't need sacrifice then?

"Ro 12:1 ...present your bodies a living sacrifice. Under the Old Covenant, God accepted the sacrifices of dead animals. But because of Christ’s ultimate sacrifice, the OT sacrifices are no longer of any effect (Heb. 9:11, 12). For those in Christ, the only acceptable worship is to offer themselves completely to the Lord. Under God’s control, the believer’s yet-unredeemed body (see note on 6:6, 12; 7:5; cf. 8:11, 23) can and must be yielded to Him as an instrument of righteousness (6:12, 13; cf. 8:11–13)." MacArthur, J., Jr. (Ed.). (1997). The MacArthur Study Bible (electronic ed., p. 1716). Nashville, TN: Word Pub.

 

Greasy grace loves the old man.

Lay aside the old self with its evil practices Col 3:9-10, Ro 6:6

Put aside all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander 1 Pe 2:1

Do not be conformed to the former lusts 1 Pe 4:14

Put to death the deeds of the body Ro 8:12-13

Deny ungodliness and worldly desires Tit 2:12-13

Abstain from sexual immorality 1 Thess 4:3

Consider the members of your earthly body as dead to immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which amounts to idolatry. Col 3:5-9

Flee immorality 1 Co 6:18

Immorality or any impurity or greed must not even be named among you Eph 5:3

Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Eph 4:31
