Young People Ask Good Questions
I
feel honored to be able to work with the good people at the
Question
#1 – “If God is perfect, & He made the OT Law, how could it have “faults”
(Heb. 8:7)? Passage after passage in
Scripture deals with the imperfection in the Old Law. But were the problems in the law itself? The Bible says the Old Law was a “yoke that we
were not able to bear…” (Acts
Question #2 – “Could
Jews who died under the Old Law have forgiveness of sins?” There was no forgiveness of sins under the
Old Covenant. “For it is impossible for
the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins…11 And
every priest stands daily at his service, offering repeatedly the same
sacrifices, which can never take away sins” (Heb 10:4; 11). Christ’s death provided the necessary
sacrifice for our sins (Heb
“Therefore he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that
those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, since a
death has occurred that redeems them from the transgressions committed under
the first covenant” (Heb
May we all be true Bible students, always seeking God’s truth in His holy and divine word.
