Hello Juli, I see the priestly ritual on the Day of Atonement not a total understanding of what Christ is doing in the heavenly throne, as He is also King as the writer of Hebrews says in the seventh chapter. Kings sit on thrones and priests don't but stand performing that day's services. Is there any theological reason when He is seated? When is the heavenly throne (sanctuary) cleansed on that day? Your thoughts on this will be greatly appreciated.
Lord bless, Michael
Hello Michael, Yes, absolutely Jesus is the King, in fact He is the fulfillment of all three Old Testament offices... the King, the Priest and the Prophet, which is amazing!
Hello Juli, I read your commentary on, Hebrews 6:4-6 & 10:26-31. My question is many years ago,i asked jesus to save and forgive me. However, during the worst period of my life, I engaged in wifull sin for many years after Christ into my life. During that time I thought grace gave me a license to sin. I no longer believe that grace and repentance operate that way. I have since asked Jesus numerous times to forgive, cleanse, and give me a new heart. I no longer engage in those wilfull sins but I cant get peace or assurance that jesus had forgiven me. I dont know if satan isputting those thoughts in my mind or if its the Holy Spirit letting me know that I crossed the line and cannot be forgiven. I no longer want to be an enemy of Christ. Can I be forgiven or does my doubt and fear mean that I am lost? Please respond..ive been in mental torture over this matter for the past 7 yrs. Thanks JP
Hello JP!
Thank you so very much for reaching out with this important question... YOU ARE NOT LOST! Showing your willingness and desire to seek forgiveness proves that! The passage in Hebrews 6 says that they cannot be forgiven, more because they won't seek it, not because God won't willingly grant it, if a person is reprobate it means they refuse His forgiveness (which is always offered), there is a hardness and an unwillingness to return and be forgiven, in other words, they are REJECTING Jesus and the gospel (repeatedly). I do not believe you qualify for this. It sounds as if you had a time in your life when you were not living as you should, but the Lord never left you, He was there the entire time... I believe that is when the Holy Spirit was drawing you back speaking His love and grace over you... And you returned, proving that you are not lost and you have been forgiven! So here's what I want you to do....
