THE ATONEMENT COVER / HEBREWS 9:5

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Hebrews 9:5

And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly.

THE ATONEMENT COVER / HEBREWS 9:5

On the annual Day of Atonement, both the bull’s blood (that made atonement, or “sin covering,” for the high priest and his family) and the goat’s blood (that served as an offering for the sins of the entire nation) were sprinkled on the atonement cover as an offering to God (Leviticus 16:2, 14). The earthly atonement cover was a type – a prophetic symbol – of the heavenly “throne of grace” (Hebrews 4:16), which believers can now approach because of Christ’s shed blood in order to receive mercy and help for all their needs.

ARK OF THE COVENANT / HEBREWS 9:4

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Hebrews 9:3-4  

And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all;

4 Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;

ARK OF THE COVENANT / HEBREWS 9:4

This was the most sacred furnishing in the Old Testament tabernacle (the portable worship center). It was a rectangular chest (3.75 feet long, 2.25 feet wide and 2.25 feet high) made of acacia wood and overlaid with pure gold inside and out. The ark represented God’s presence among the people. Three items were originally inside the ark of the covenant:

  1. A jar of manna, the food God miraculously provided in the desert, as a reminder of God’s supernatural provision.
  2. Aaron’s staff, or walking stick, as a reminder of God’s mighty acts and His choice of Aaron and his descendants as Israel’s priests.
  3. The two stone tablets on which were written the Ten Commandments, as a reminder of the law’s importance as God’s standard for His people. The lid of the ark was a golden plate called the atonement cover. It had two solid gold angelic figures (Hebrews 9:5) on either side of what was called the mercy seat, on which sacrificial blood would be sprinkled, showing God’s saving mercy through shed blood.

THE FIRST COVENANT / HEBREWS 9:1-7

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Hebrews 9:1-7  

Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.

2 For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary.

3 And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all;

4 Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;

5 And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly.

6 Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God.

7 But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people:

THE FIRST COVENANT / HEBREWS 9:1-7

In his discussion on how the new covenant established by Christ is so much superior to the old (or first) covenant, the writer to the Hebrews analyzes the major features of worship and sacrifice in Israel’s religion.

GOD TOOK HIM/ GENESIS 5:24

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Genesis 5:24

And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.

GOD TOOK HIM/ GENESIS 5:24

Enoch’s entrance into heaven without experiencing death is evidence that righteous men and women before Abraham’s time also had the hope for future life with God (Hebrews 11:5; Job 19:25-26; 2 Kings 2:10-11).

ENOCH WALKED WITH GOD / GENESIS 5:22

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Genesis 5:22 And

Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:

ENOCH WALKED WITH GOD / GENESIS 5:22

Enoch lived in godliness far more than anyone else. Notice what the Bible says about him.

  1. He “walked with god” (Genesis 5:22,24). That means he lived by faith in God, trusted in His promises (Hebrews 11:5-6; Hebrews 11:6) and made every effort to live a holy life (1 John 1:5-7). Because of this “faith walk,” he enjoyed a deep and ongoing relationship with God.
  2. Enoch’s lifestyle was a standard and a challenge to the ungodly. Jude 1:14-15 tells us that Enoch actually spoke out against ungodliness and immorality. He kept warning people of God’s ultimate judgement on them for their ungodly conversation and behavior.
  3. Enoch pleased God so much that Good gave him a most unusual honor. God took him directly into His presence without going through the natural experience of death (Hebrews 11:5).

We should consider Enoch’s life as an example of how to live when surrounded by ungodliness. Believers should live in such a way that it becomes clear to those around us that we have a deep relationship with God and live to please Him. God’s love in us should make us speak out with boldness and compassion against sin and warn the ungodly so that they can escape God’s judgment against sinfulness (Acts 3:19-20; 1 Thessalonians 1:10). Most of all, we should be looking for Christ’s return to take us to be with Him forever (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17).

ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD / ROMANS 4:3

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Romans 4:3

For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.

ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD / ROMANS 4:3

Salvation by faith, not by good works (keeping the law), is not only a New Testament teaching; it is also characteristic of the Old Testament. Paul uses Abraham (the founding father and original ancestor of the Hebrew people) as the example of faith. Abraham had faith in God, meaning that he was loyal and devoted to the Lord, believed in His promises (Romans 4:20-21; Genesis 12:1-3; 15:5-6) and responded in obedience to God’s commands and instructions (Genesis 12:1-4; 22:1-19; Hebrews 11:8-19; James 2:21-22).

WE UPHOLD THE LAW / ROMANS 3:31

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Romans 3:31

Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

WE UPHOLD THE LAW / ROMANS 3:31

The fact that spiritual salvation is received through faith in Christ does not mean that God’s law and its standards have no value. In reality, justification (being made right with God) by faith supports and defends the law’s necessary and rightful purpose and function. It was God’s law that exposed our offenses against Him and revealed our need for His mercy and salvation (Romans 7:7-13; Galatians 3:24). When we respond to God’s mercy and are restored to a personal relationship with God through faith in Christ, we are renewed from the inside out by the power of the Holy Spirit. As a result, we gain the power and ability to honor and obey God’s moral law (Romans 8:2-4).

Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

HIS BLOOD / ROMANS 3:25

The New Testament emphasizes several truths concerning Christ’s death.

  1. It was a sacrifice. Jesus willingly offered His own perfect and sinless life (1 Corinthians 5:7; Ephesians 5:2).
  2. It was vicarious (experienced or endured by one person for the benefit of another). Jesus died not for His own sake, but for the sake of others (Romans 5:8; 8:32; Mark 10:45; Ephesians 5:2).
  3. It was substitutionary. Christ suffered death as the penalty for our sin, as our substitute (Romans 6:23).
  4. It was propitiatory (it made peace and resolved a problem). Christ’s death for sinners satisfied God’s perfect justice, righteousness, and moral order, which required that sin be punished, and a penalty be paid for human offenses against Him. Christ’s sacrifice covered that penalty in full, removing God’s wrath (His justified anger and punishment) from those who admit and turn from their sin, accept Christ’s forgiveness, and entrust their lives to Him. Through Christ’s blood, God’s holiness was not compromised, and He was able to reveal His grace (His unearned and undeserved favor) and love for us (John 3:16). God Himself put this plan in place, not because He owed us, but because of His love and mercy toward us. Already “God was reconciling the world to Himself in Christ” (2 Corinthians 5:18-19; John 3:16; Romans 5:8; 8:3, 32; 1 Corinthians 8:6; Ephesians 4:4-6).
  5. It was expiatory (it supplied a right for our wrong against God). Jesus’ perfect sacrifice not only paid in full the price for our sin, but it also erases and cancels the guilt of those who accept His forgiveness and follow Him. Christ makes it just as if His followers had never offended God. By Christ’s death, the power of sin that separated God and people has been broken in the lives of those who give themselves completely to Him.
  6. It was completely effective. Christ’s atoning (sin-covering, forgiveness-providing) death has the power to restore people to a right relationship with God if they put their faith in Him.
  7. It was victorious. By dying on the cross, Christ fought against and was triumphant over the power of sin, or Satan and of His demonic forces that once held all of Humankind captive. His death was the beginning of the victory over the spiritual enemies of both God and humanity (Romans 8:3; John 12:31-32; Colossians 2:15). Jesus’ death paid the ransom (1 Peter 1:18-19) – to God, not to Satan. As a result, Jesus liberates people from sin (Romans 6:6), death (2 Timothy 1:10; 1 Corinthians 15:54-57) and Satan (Acts 10:38). Christ’s victory made it possible for people to serve God (Romans 6:18)

All the above results of Christ’s sacrificial death are available and potentially active for all people. But in reality, they only take effect in the lives of individuals who, through faith, accept Jesus’ sacrifice for themselves and show their devotion by submitting to His purposes for their lives.

JUSTIFIED FREELY BY HIS GRACE THROUGH THE REDEMPTION / ROMANS 3:24

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Romans 3:24

 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

JUSTIFIED FREELY BY HIS GRACE THROUGH THE REDEMPTION / ROMANS 3:24

This verse contains two of the most common words that Paul used to express the concept of salvation: “justified” and “redemption.” The root meaning of “redemption” (Greek apolutrosis) is ransom by the payment of a price. To be redeemed means to be paid for, purchased, bought back or restored. It also relates to being rescued liberated ad set free. “To be justified” (Greek dikaioo) means to be “righteous in God’s sight” (Romans 2:13), to be “made righteous” (Romans 5:18-19), to “establish as right” or to “set or put something right.” In a judicial sense, it means to be declared “not guilty.”
