If you love the world and the THINGS of the world, the love of the Father is not in you. Now this is the Word of God, not my word. People, everyone needs to get very serious about this matter of eternal life.
Isa 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. 1:19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
Now here it said if ye be willing and OBEDIENT, you will eat the good of the land, meaning the revelation of God’s Word and His land.
Heb 10:1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. (God never placed anyone under law; they chose this.)
10:2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.
Heb 10:3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. 10:4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. 10:5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: 10:6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. (See here that God never at any time had pleasure in any animal sacrifices. IT never took away any sin. It never was of God.)
Heb 10:7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God. 10:8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; 10:9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
So Jesus came to do the will of God. So then animal sacrifices were never the will of God. He never told Cain and Adam to do that. When it said God never had pleasure in these animal sacrifices and he wouldest not, this means He never at any time set this up or accepted it. He never accepted Cain’s offering. So His worship was in vain. He placed a substitute there instead of true worship. So then what is true worship? What is an acceptable offering to God?
