*[[Lev 16:6]] KJV* And Aaron shall offer his bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make an atonement for himself, and for his house.
I have always said that everyone is a new creation and that there is no saving left to be done. Jesus finished it all. Now, someone may not know it but that doesn't change the fact that s/he is eternally saved.
I have also mentioned before that one does not need faith to be saved nor make some confession in order to get saved. All we need do is to spread the knowledge of the glory of God that has wroth eternal redemption for mankind.
But do you know that Job used to make sacrifices on behalf of his children even in their absence (see Job 1:5)? You know why?
Because he was the head of the family.
From our opening scripture, we see that Aaron had to provide a bull for himself and his household. He did not bring a bull each for the members of his household, but the one bull he provided was for the whole family since he was the head of the family.
Now, the whole of humanity is just one family since we all came from one Father (which is Papa God not Adam). For Adam was the son of God.
*[[Luk 3:38]] KJ2000* Who was the son of Enos, who was the son of Seth, who was the son of ADAM, WHO WAS THE SON OF GOD.
This is what Paul said to the Church at Ephesus about their parentage...
*[[Eph 3:14-15/KJV]]* 14. For this cause I bow my knees unto the FATHER of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15. OF WHOM THE WHOLE FAMILY IN HEAVEN AND EARTH IS NAMED,
You may say, "Brother Afriyie but this was a Church so yes, they were all 'born again' right?" Well, it even gets better. See what Paul told a 'pagan' city...
*[[Act 17:28]] NET* For in him we live and move about and exist, as even some of your own poets have said, ‘FOR WE TOO ARE HIS OFFSPRING.’
So you see, we are all Children of Papa God. That makes Him the head of the family/human race. So what did the head of the human race do? He provided a Lamb FOR the redemption of the human race.
But unlike what Aaron did yearly, this sacrifice was carried out once and for all time.
*[[Heb 10:9-10/KJ2000]]* 9. Then said he, Lo, I come to do your will, O God. He takes away the first, that he may establish the second. 10. By the which will WE ARE SANCTIFIED THROUGH THE OFFERING OF THE BODY OF JESUS CHRIST ONCE FOR ALL.
The Old Covenant priest had to stand and offer daily because all the family heads were constantly coming to him. But our High Priest is seated now because THERE WAS ONLY ONE FAMILY TO SACRIFICE FOR (i.e. the human race).
*[[Heb 10:11-12/KJ2000]]* 11. And every priest stands daily ministering and offering frequently the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: 12. But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God;
So you see, Papa God included every man in the finished works of Jesus. Jesus was the Lamb offered by Papa God to take away the sin of His children.
Now that the Father has finished, why do we say some folks are not included until they do something? Selah!!!
