Word of Appetizer
What’s the meaning that Christ is our Sin offering?
The sin offering signifies that Christ was made sin for us in order that through His death on the cross sin might be condemned.
Through incarnation the Word, who is God, became flesh, in the likeness of the flesh of sin, the likeness of a fallen man; Hence, through Christ’s death in the flesh all negative things were dealt with; this is the efficacy of the sin offering; As the One who did not know sin, Christ was made sin on our behalf so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
Spiritual Burden
After our regeneration we still need to take Christ as our sin offering and as our trespass offering every day; through our genuine, intimate, living, and loving fellowship with God, who is light, we will realize that we are sinful, and we will take Christ as our sin offering.
