The Atonement is to substitute old sinful lives for new holy living

[Ghada]

The atonement of God is to substitute life for life: the atonement of the Lamb of God is to substitute His life of righteousness and true holiness, for our old life of dead works.

The atonement of the Lamb of God is not to give His life to the dead in sins and trespasses, but rather to give His Spirit of life to them that repent and were dead in sins and trespasses.

Nor does He substitute His dead body, for that of any body still dead in sins and trespasses. Jesus' dead body does not pay for the price of any present sinning.

Any man while sinning is still dead to God. No ungodly sinner dead in sins and trespasses, is now receiving the atonement of the Lamb of God by Christ Jesus.

The death of Jesus' body does not substitute for the continuing judgment of death upon sinners and trespassers against God and His Christ.

Jesus' own dead body is no substitution replacement for any body still dead in their sins and trespasses. The death of any man's own continued dead works, is still his alone. His place in judgment is not taken by the beating and death of Jesus' own body.

Because Jesus died on the cross, does not mean that ongoing sinners are not now condemned with their own death by sinning.

Jesus' atoning body of sacrifice on the cross, is not for present living. His dead body and shed blood does not atone for any man still dead in sins and trespasses.

Nowhere does the Bible say Jesus' death on the cross is ever a 'substitute' for any man's present death in sins and trespasses. Even as the atoning substitute of dead bulls and goats was not for present sins of Israel, nor for strangers to the covenant of God.

And they shall eat those things wherewith the atonement was made, to consecrate and to sanctify them: but a stranger shall not eat thereof, because they are holy.

We see here, that on the day of atonement, the people are consecrate and sanctified to God's holiness. They are not now as strangers sinning and transgressing His law.

 

[Ghada]

And they shall eat those things wherewith the atonement was made, to consecrate and to sanctify them: but a stranger shall not eat thereof, because they are holy.

We see here that receiving the atonement includes eating of the dead body of sacrifice.

It's not at all true that the sacrifice made alone, also makes for the atonement of God. Likewise, it isn't only the death of Jesus on the cross, that alone makes for the Lamb of God's atonement.

Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.

And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

Jesus' dead body alone does not make for any man receiving His atonement and having his sins paid for. But as with the old, so with the new, the Lamb's body must be eaten to receive the atonement and be sanctified to God.

That body is of course not His flesh and shed blood on the cross. God forbid any sacrifices of man's body, nor drinking of any blood, especially that of man.

And so unlike the old, the nee body is of His resurrection from the dead, and our eating and drinking is of His spiritual flesh and blood,

And they shall eat those things wherewith the atonement was made, to consecrate and to sanctify them: but a stranger shall not eat thereof, because they are holy.

And since no stranger to the law and covenant of God is allowed to eat thereof, then no unrepented dead sinner and transgressor of Christ's law and covenant, can possibly believe and eat of His body in holiness unto the Lord.

What His dead body substitutes, after eating and drinking of His living bread and blood, is our old sentence of death by dead works.

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

The dead body of the Lord atones only for the past dead body of our old man and life of sinning, whose body and deeds are now crucified with Christ on our own cross.

What His new resurrected body substitutes, while eating and drinking of Him, is our old life of sin and darkness with His new walk and life in the light.

Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.

And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

No man receives the atonement of the spotless and blameless Lamb of God, without repented of dead works to have faith toward God, and having a pure soul like Christ, through obedience of His Spirit.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,

That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

Until we are made conformable to His death on our own cross of death to sinning, we are not allowed to eat of the Lord's body.

And so no man not yet repented of sinning, can possibly receive His atonement to be consecrated and sanctified by the Spirit, and be made conformed to His image of righteousness and true holiness.

 

[Ghada]

And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the LORD your God.

Only by repenting of our own dead works and righteousness, can we enter and walk in the Lamb's day of atonement.

Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land.

Those who do so unto the end, shall hear the last trump at His appearing, and receive the atonement of their bodies in the likeness of His resurrection.
