]]></description><lessonItem><name><![CDATA[Personal Evangelism Lesson 3 Introduction]]></name><lessonInstructions><![CDATA[<p class="w2wENNormal">Each year on the Day of Atonement the sin of Israel came up before God.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>The sins of Israel were symbolically placed on animals.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>&ldquo;But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year&rdquo; (Heb 10:3).<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>The author of Hebrews goes on to explain, &ldquo;For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins&rdquo; (Heb 10:4).<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>All that animal blood could do was cover their sins for another year.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="w2wENNormal">In contrast to the Old Covenant atonement, or temporary covering of sins, is the offering of Christ who offered His own body.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>&ldquo;By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all&rdquo; (Heb 10:10).<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>Based on this fact, how can anyone possibly think we can contribute anything but faith to our salvation?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="w2wENNormal">Most people will accept God&rsquo;s salvation if they can contribute to it.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>But pride gets in the way of accepting it as the gracious, undeserved gift.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>The question for unbelievers is, &ldquo;Will you let pride keep you from eternal life?&rdquo;<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="w2wENNormal">In contrast to their unfinished work Hebrews says: &ldquo;Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is <b>set</b> on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens&rdquo; (Heb 8:1).<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>There is a chair in the heavenly tabernacle and as far as his priestly work of putting away sins is concerned, Christ has sat down.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>&ldquo;For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified&rdquo; (Heb 10:14).<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>Jesus bore all of our sin and His sacrifice--plus nothing!--has perfected us for all time.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>Amen!<o:p></o:p></p>
