Hy het Homself as offer gegee vir ons sondes
Hebrews 9:26 ― Geneva Bible 1599
26 (For then must He haue often suffred
since the foundation of the world) but now in the end of the
world hath He bene made manifest, once to put away sinne by
the sacrifice of Him selfe.
27 And as it is appointed vnto men that they
shall once die, and after that commeth the iudgement:
28 So Christ was once offered to take away the
sinnes of many, and vnto them that looke for Him, shall He
appeare the second time without sinne vnto saluation. |

Hy was die volmaakte sondeoffer
Isaiah 53:7-9 ― Geneva Bible 1599
7 Hee was oppressed and He was afflicted,
yet did He not open His mouth: Hee is brought as a sheepe to
the slaughter, and as a sheepe before her shearer is dumme,
so He openeth not His mouth.8 Hee was taken out from prison, and from
iudgement: and who shall declare His age? for He was cut out
of the lande of the liuing: for the transgression of my
people was He plagued.
9 And He made his graue with the wicked, and
with the riche in His death, though Hee had done no
wickednesse, neither was any deceite in His mouth. |

Hy het gesterf vir ons sondes

reconciled, we shalbe saued by His life, |

Sy dood was 'n versoening vir ons sonde
Romans 3:23-27 ― Geneva Bible 1599
23 For there is no difference: for all haue
sinned, and are depriued of the glorie of God,
24 And are iustified freely by His grace,
through the redemption that is in Christ Iesus,
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a
reconciliation through faith in His blood to declare His
righteousnes, by the forgiuenesse of the sinnes that are
passed,
26 Through the patience of God, to shewe at this
time His righteousnesse, that hee might be iust, and a
iustifier of him which is of the faith of Iesus.
27 Where is then the reioycing? It is excluded.
By what Lawe? of woorkes? Nay: but by the Lawe of faith. |

1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye beleeue
in God, beleeue also in Me.
2 In My Fathers house are many dwelling places:

place for you.3
And if I go to prepare a place for you, I wil come againe,
and receiue you vnto My selfe, that where I am, there may ye
be also. |

Lees gerus ook Hebreërs 10 as geheel en let op dat Jesus die
perfekte offer is. Daar lees ons hoekom 'n beter
offer nodig is. (Hebreërs 10:1-4)
Die voorsiening vir 'n beter offer. (Hebreërs 10:5-10)
Die effetiwiteit van die beter offer (Hebreërs 10:10)
en dat
Jesus se offer nie hoef herhaal en herhaal of
vervang te word nie. (Hebreërs 10:11-18)
Met so 'n Verlosser is 'n dankbaarheidslewe die besliste mikpunt, alles tot
eer van God die Vader.
Jesus did nog bathe this planet with His blood
tot have you serve the world, the flesh, and the
devil. He died to make you holy.
You are not your
own. 1 Corinthians 6:20 says "
for ye are bought with
a price: therefore glorify God
in your body and in
your spirit, which are God's"
(Adrian Rogers)
