The Scapegoat and Sacrifice

“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭1:1
Genesis 1-3 talks about God's creation of man-Adam and Eve. Adam fell in spirit, and died in spirit. He couldn't rely on God anymore, but on his 5 senses only. Adam couldn't come close to God anymore because His presence had now become dangerous.
 Wait, if God's presence is good, how can it be dangerous?
God is like the sun, the thing that shines down and gives us sunlight. It is good, because we get Vitamin D from it. But if something gets to close to it...BOOM! If we are impure or 'unclean' and decide to come into God's presence just like that, you will surely be wiped out! Adam was now impure-sinful because He disobeyed God's commandment. After Adam had sinned, God hadn't finished yet. God provided away for people to 'replace responsibility' of sins. This is explained in the book of Leviticus where there are rules on sacrifices that cover up and wipe away your sin. Here's one:
Every year, 2 goats are brought to the High Priest. One is slaughtered for sacrifice and the other is called the Scapegoat because it is cast into the wilderness after the Priest had confessed all Israel sins on it. This was a portraying image of how Jesus would once take the sins of the world away as a Lamb. Jesus was the Perfect Sacrifice for everyone.

Revere Christ as Lord!

"But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect." - 1 Peter 3:15. Whenever we are being trialled or tested for our faith, we should never deny it. Take the opportunity to tell them about God. Preach to them and give them the chance to hear about God. It may work, it may not. But all you know is, you accomplished your part of the mission. You've preached to them. Now it's there decision to come to Christ. Notice the Bible says do it with GENTLENESS. We don't use violence to try and preach the Gospel. We don't force people to believe in our reality. We use one of the fruit of the spirit (See Galatians 5:22 for a full list) Now you may wonder why Peter says 'with respect' when God says: "Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:" - Acts 10:34.

Most Powerful

8 I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. (‭Psalms‬ ‭16‬:‭8‬ KJV) In this verse, David is actually having a revelation about Jesus from the Holy Ghost. Let me explain. You see- as Christians, Jesus is the one who is before us. The One we follow. He is at our right hand and protects us. And because of Him, we are not moved. The Lord is you Leader, Provider and Guide. Without him, your steps would be without guide and you would have no knowledge of the path you are taking. You would be vulnerable to Satan and he will be able to destroy you. But-thank God- he can't destroy us. Christ lives in us, the most powerful Thing ever!
