I.                  Once

a.    Our sin required a sacrifice

                                                             i.      Sin entered the world through the first man Romans 5:12

                                                          ii.      All in Adam must die I Corinthians 15:22—example all the first born in Egypt

                                                        iii.      All in Christ are made alive

                                                        iv.      The wages of sin Romans 6:23

b.    Every year the high priest entered with blood once 9:7

                                                             i.      For himself

                                                          ii.      And for the people

                                                        iii.      Blood of animals 9:12

c.     Jesus Christ came to take away the sins of the world John 1:29

                                                             i.      He died once 9:28, Romans 6:10 and never again

1.    Dies no more Romans 6:9

2.    Death hath no dominion

d.    He obtained eternal redemption 9:12

e.    Nothing else can get rid of sin

 

II.              Put away

a.    The guilt of our sin I Peter 2:24

                                                             i.      Our lawyer I John 2:1

                                                          ii.      He is our intercessor Hebrews 7:25, 9:24, Romans 8:34

b.    The power of sin

                                                             i.      We are no longer slaves John 8:34

                                                          ii.      Free to serve God Romans 6:18

c.     Even the memory of our sin

                                                             i.      The promise Hebrews 10:17

                                                          ii.      Blotted out Isaiah 43:25

 

III.           Sacrifice of Himself
