Remember No More

When reading the Bible, especially if you are reading in the Old Testament you will see a lot of sacrifice. There were sacrifices for just about any and everything, including for their sin.

And they would do this, a lot. I am not going to pretend to be a scholar on the old testament Jewish traditions but just take a quick read through Numbers or Deuteronomy and you will see there was a lot of animals being sacrificed to atone for any number of things.

We all have sin that needs forgiven. And we know that when we turn to Christ and accept this gift that our…

sins and lawless acts I will remember no more. -Hebrews 10:17.

Press on. Fight the Good Fight. As a Soldier for Christ.
