Heb.10:11 Every priest indeed stands day by day serving and often offering the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins, 10:12 but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God.

What a shocking statement for those trying to earn their way into the Kingdom of God, Christ did not need to be offered each time they sinned, which was daily! Hence, having a good day did not pay back the bad one before it. Here is the truth of works of law, which works are so self-centered that one actually believes they can pay back for a sin they have done by some good work. Subsequently, impaling the Christ over and over again, learning nothing from the Jewish system of things.

The Jews had become drunk on self-righteousness thinking they could keep some of the Old law justifying the parts they could not. Moreover, they judged themselves and excused themselves by looking at those that did not. But the truth was in the law itself, which was no sinner could keep the law, no matter how much they thought they could. In other words, it would be like adding yeast to unleavened bread, the smallest amounted polluted the whole mass of unleavened bread.

Rom.2:23 You who glory in the law, through your disobedience of the law do you dishonor God? 2:24 For "the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you,"{Isaiah 52:5; Ezekiel 36:22} just as it is written.

Sober up! The law convicted them of being a sinner, it did not justify them as a good person, or someone almost good enough. Hence, they needed remission of conviction for those sin deserving of death passed on by Adam sin into the world. Yes, blood of an innocent victim upon the Altar of God so He could passover their sins redeeming them from transgression/sins against God. Much more so this remission of sin had to be done over and over again, they could pour out all the blood in the world and still not be a sinner!

1 John 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

Two thousand's years later we have a field of weed Christian's thinking once more they can redeem themselves through some good work of their religious group, denying it, but nonetheless, preaching it, and teaching it every-time they open their mouths. Selfishly, willing to deny the truth of Christ being offer just once for their sin, for self-earned merit. Just as the Jews, living by works of law, self-righteousness, they cannot put away the filth of their own flesh upon earth by self-efforts.

1 Peter 3:21 This is a symbol of baptism, which now saves you--not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
