It makes no Sense
Here is something that God has had me pondering over, and then kindly and helpfully solved the confusion, with just these few simple words, so let me share them with you, 1 John 1:8 “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” Romans 3:10 “As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:” 2 Corinthians 5:21 “For he hath made him [to be] sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” Matthew 5:48 “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.” 1 John 1:8 “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” Matthew 12:33 “Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by [his] fruit.” 1 John 3:5 “And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.” Romans 6:22-23 “But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. For the wages of sin [is] death; but the gift of God [is] eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” 1 Corinthians 15:34 “Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak [this] to your shame.” 1 John 3:8-9 “He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose, the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.” Matthew 12:33 “Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by [his] fruit.” How can we ever be ‘Perfectly Holy,’ and yet at the same time, ‘Perfectly Sinful,’ these are two extremes, diametrically opposed to each other, so how can we ever make any sense of this perceived confusion? “It just makes no sense.”
Then let us use “The Sanctuary Service,” and the Sanctuary itself, to examine this dichotomy of diverse opposites. When the Sanctuary Services existed in reality, should one every stray into sin, then the appropriate sin offering was purchased, one led the animal to the Sanctuary, very embarrassingly public, as we know exactly where they are going, and why; you enter the Sanctuary, you place your sin upon it, it in essence becomes You, and then you slay it, you kill yourself in essence, shed its blood, Romans 6:23a “For the wages of sin [is] death,” and you just died in your trespasses and sins, for sin has just killed you, and you died. But then that was the animal that had stood in for you, so now sinless, you can walk out of the Sanctuary, ‘Sin Free,’ and you are, but your record of sin still remains there, contaminating the Sanctuary, defiling it. Now once a year, on Yom Kippur, or ‘The Great Day of Atonement,’ all these sins, sin records, corruptions and defilements, are all gathered up, grouped and bundled up, and the High Priest then carries all these defilements out the front gate, out into the street, thus making the Sanctuary perfectly and absolutely clean and wholesome and pure, and then places them onto the head of the ‘Scape Goat,’ or Azazel, or Satan himself, he has to take back all his vile property, and this sin will kill him, all abandoned and alone, far from God, banished out there in a wild and desolate and uninhabited wilderness.
So how can you be ‘Perfectly Sinless,’ and yet ‘Fully Sinful?’ Back to the Sanctuary; firstly, your sin was firstly in you, but by confession and forsaking sin, a blood sacrifice took it all away from you, you were pardoned, thus you are ‘Perfectly Sinless.’ But, ‘Your Sin,’ ‘Your Sins Record,’ is still there in the Sanctuary, it is there to your perpetual shame and embarrassment, for all to see, your fully sinful self, but along comes Yom Kippur, the Great Day of Atonement, it will happen only once, at the very end of all things, some 6,000 years after the first sin with Adam and Eve, Satan gets them all handed back, all his diabolical scheming’s, his temptations, birthed into fully blown sin, James 1:14-15 “But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth, [births] sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.” James 1:13-16 “A man must not say when he is tempted, “God is tempting me.” For God has no dealings with evil, and does not himself tempt anyone. No, a man’s temptation is due to the pull of his own inward desires, which can be enormously attractive. His own desire takes hold of him, and that produces sin. And sin in the long run means death—make no mistake about that, brothers of mine!” Quote; “Is he [Satan], not the first great apostate from God? It is at Lucifer’s throne that every evil work finds its starting point, and obtains its full support.” {FLB 66} Quote; “Nothing is more plainly taught in Scripture than that God was in no wise responsible for the entrance of sin; that there was no arbitrary withdrawal of divine grace, no deficiency in the divine government, that gave occasion for the uprising of rebellion. Sin is an intruder, for whose presence no reason can be given. It is mysterious, unaccountable; to excuse it, is to defend it. Could excuse for it be found, or cause shown for its existence, it would cease to be sin.” {FLB 66} Thus God will tear down Satan, and everything of his, and all who align themselves with evil and sin and death, Malachi 4:1 “For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.” Leviticus 21:9 “And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire.” We are all ‘God’s Kids,’ in essence a daughter of the priest, so death by fire is the only solution to purge away this iniquity, thus all who fall short of the glory of God, who have now become stubble and fuel for the fire. But now, “It makes perfect sense,” so which set of records do you want destroyed, your righteousness and righteous deeds, or your sinfulness and all your evil and wicked deeds; at the end of the day, when all is summed up and concluded, one set of records disappears eternally, and all the records forever kept are undisputably accurate, so will it be unto Sin, or unto Salvation, But then, finally then, “It makes perfect sense.”
Quote; “And the claim to be without sin is, in itself, evidence that he who makes this claim is far from holy. It is because he has no true conception of the infinite purity and holiness of God, or of what they must become who shall be in harmony with his character; because he has no true conception of the purity and exalted loveliness of Jesus, and the malignity and evil of sin, that man can regard himself as holy. The greater the distance between himself and Christ, and the more inadequate his conceptions of the divine character and requirements, the more righteous he appears in his own eyes. The sanctification set forth in the Scriptures embraces the entire being, —spirit, soul, and body. Paul prayed for the Thessalonians, that their “whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” [1 Thessalonians 5:23.] Again, he writes to believers, “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God.” [Romans 12:1.]” {GC88 473} But now, “It makes perfect sense,” but then, do you live unto Sin, or unto Salvation? Whom do you actually serve? To serve Evil – “It makes no sense.”
