Why She Needed to move

Last week we studied why the new girl needed to move, she was born into a sinful world. It’s not necessarily any sin she committed, sin came into the world when Adam obeyed satan and ate of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil, therefore disobeying God. In disobeying God, he obeyed satan, and Adam became his slave and all God had given him then went under the rule of satan.


Today we are going to look at the way God provided for our sin to be forgiven and what some of that means for us today.

Along the course of time, God visited many on the earth. He has been ever mindful of us as humans that He so lovingly created. There was a set time God declared for Himself ‘a people’, a group of people that He began to call His own. He wanted to begin the process of bringing everyone back into union with Him as He once had with Adam. In starting this process He exclaimed blood had to be shed for sins to be forgiven. This set time God declared is when those He had visited, namely Abraham, was moved into Egypt due to a great famine in the land. Abraham and his kin folk moved into Egypt and multiplied and grew. There were many of them, nearly 2 Million. God had made a promise to Abraham that his seed [children] would be as many as the stars in the sky and the sands on the shore. We see here that that promise had been set in motion.

God then began the process of calling His people in by birthing a boy that was born of a Hebrew woman, named Moses, to be raised by Pharaoh’s daughter and learning the ways of Egypt. Pharaoh’s daughter raised him knowing he was a Hebrew. The Hebrews had grown in number that the Pharaoh, which was the ruler, began to use them as slaves. One day, as an adult, Moses saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew. His anger was stirred and he beat the Egyptian to death, though not meaning to. He then, shortly after, saw two men fighting and warned them. They spoke against him saying ‘are you going to kill us as you did the other?’. Moses then fled, feeling he would surely be punished.

For 40 years did Moses live in the wilderness tending sheep. He had married, and had a family. God spoke to Moses to go help His people, the Hebrews, come out of Egypt. This is the story of the 10 plagues, the last plagues being the killing of the first born. God instructed all the Hebrews to slay a lamb, dip some straw into the blood and place it over their doorpost, therefore the Death Angel when coming through the town would pass over them and their firstborn son would be saved. God was giving this to them as an example of blood saving their lives.

When the Hebrews came out of Egypt they stayed in the wilderness, and God gave them a plan. He told them that from that day forward, even until today, He would not leave them. And to remit their sins, they were to slay a certain perfect, unblemished animal and pour his blood onto the alter before Him. He also gave them 10 main laws to go by, this being what is called today, the 10 commandments. He also gave them certain guidelines to go by to be purified, ways to stay away from uncleanness and so on. These were called laws. The people lived by those laws for many, many years. But there was always blood that had to be shed for their sins.

Fast forward to Jesus. The Hebrews lived in the days of Jesus in this same manner, slaying perfect, unblemished animals for their sin. Jesus came to take away the sin of the world, those that had passed, those that were alive in His day, and those that were still yet to be born.

Jesus was born of a virgin girl, named Mary. The Holy Spirit hovered over her and conceived Jesus. This is why He is called the Son of Man, because Mary was His Mother, and the Son of God, because God was His Father.

Jesus grew up just like us. At one point Jesus was 13, just like you Morgan. At one point in His life He was 16, just like you Charlie. Jesus lived among His brothers and sisters too. He grew up in a small town much like Bradford, though there were not any trains back then. Lol.

Jesus grew up learning the scriptures much like we are. He was reading and learning the verses by memory from what is called the old testament in our Bible. So when we read in Isaiah, those are scriptures Jesus read too. Isn’t that neat?

Yet Jesus grew up never sinning. He was tempted just like we were to sin, yet He never sinned. Therefore, as God began to move Him toward the cross, He was called the Lamb of God because He was unblemished and God’s provision for blood for forgiveness of our sin, the sin we were born with, and the sin we may commit daily. God provided the spotless Lamb to be slain for US. THIS is why we praise God so much, He provided Jesus, and Jesus was willing, to be our sacrifice for our sin. That’s the scripture in John 3:16 we all know so well but tells us the truth “for God so loved us {Morgan, Charlie and Cindy, and the rest of the World} that He gave His only begotten Son {Jesus} that whosoever believeth on Him will not perish [go to hell and live forever and ever and ever} but will have everlasting life {go to Heaven and live forever and ever and ever}.

God provided Jesus as it says in our scripture from last week Romans 5:19 “for as by one man’s disobedience {Adam} many were made sinners {us and the rest of the world}, so by the obedience of one {Jesus} shall many be made righteous {right standing before God}”. This is so much to praise God for. This is so much to praise Jesus for. We were going to have to pay for the sin, but Jesus paid for it on the cross for us. And God is the one that provided that sacrifice of blood.

John 3:16 again say “for God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life”.

Forgiveness of the sin we were born with is to believe in Jesus. There it is, that simple. Accepting what Jesus did, trading places with Him, inviting Him to live in our hearts and guide us, brings us into The Kingdom of God, with Jesus The King of this kingdom. It’s what Jesus did. It’s the sacrifice Jesus made. It was His blood as the sacrifice for sin.
