Righteousness by Faith

Chapter 2

What High Priest Does in First Apartment

Holy Spirit brought conviction of sin to sinner. Lev. 4:14, 23, 28; John 16:8.

Sinner confessed sin, laying his hand on head of sin offering. Lev. 4:4, 15, 24, 29, 33.

Sinner then killed the innocent victim. Lev. 4:4, 24, 29, 33.

Priest bore the sin into sanctuary. Lev. 10:16-18. (This was done either by priest eating some of the flesh of the sin offering or by bringing the blood into the sanctuary. Lev. 6:30; 4:5-7.)

When sin had thus been brought into sanctuary, sinner was forgiven. Lev. 4:20, 26, 31, 35.

Without shedding of blood, no forgiveness could be possible. Heb. 9:22.

Christ's blood shed for remission of sins. Matt. 26:28.

Christ is true or antitypical Lamb of God. John 1:29.

As earthly priest bore sin in his own body typically, so Christ bore our sins in His own body antitypically. 1 Peter 2:24.

Christ offers His own blood in heavenly sanctuary. Heb. 8:3; 9:12-14.

Ministry in first apartment accomplished forgiveness of sins in type, but did not accomplish blotting out of sin. Heb. 9:6, 7, 9.

First apartment ministry continued daily throughout the year. Heb. 9:6.
