The purpose and the will of God -- Hebrews 10:1-10: The law, with all its ceremonies and sacrifices, was only a shadow or type of what was to come under the gospel dispensation. The legal sacrifices, offered year by year under the law, could never make the sinners perfect or free from guilt. If those sacrifices had satisfied the demands of justice, and made reconciliation for sins they would have ceased to be offered.

God stated simply that, "it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins." (Hebrews 10:4) Jesus was incarnated with a body so that a proper sacrifice could be made that would eliminate man's sin problem. How wonderful it is to know that a New Covenant with a new sacrifice now makes salvation possible. "Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all." (Hebrews 10:9-10)
