Types of Christ in The Old Covenant: Noah Pt 3

Gen 6:14 Make thee an ark, and pitch it within and without with pitch. (KJV)

When Noah built the ark, God told him to ‘pitchit inside and out with pitch,or as we know it Bitumin.

 The word, ‘pitch‘ in Hebrew means: To cover, appease, make an atonement, cleanse, be merciful, forgiveness.

 To atone means to cover with blood. When an animal sacrifice was offered up before God, it’s blood was presented before Him as evidence that a death had been carried out for sin. That is, the punishment for the sin of the people had been carried out on the animal because the punishment for sin was death. (Gen 2:17)

2 Chron 29:23-24 Then they brought the male goats of the sin offering  and the priests slaughtered them and purged the altar with their blood to atone (cover) for all Israel. (NASU)

 God could now release His forgiveness and mercy upon the people. But animal blood could only atone or cover the people’s sin, it couldn’t take it away, it couldn’t cleanse their conscience from guilt.

 Animal sacrifices were a prophetic picture pointing forward to The Lord Jesus Christ. He would offer Himself up as a sacrifice and shed His blood for all mankind.

 But His blood didn’t only cover sin, it took it away completely.

 Jn 1:29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! (NLT)

 When sin is forgiven and taken away, it means that:

1) God will never bring it back to remembrance to accuse us. (Micah 7:19)

2) Sin is no longer counted against us. (2 Cor 5:19)

3) We  no longer have to be sin conscious. (Heb 10:1-4)

4) There is no guilt or condemnation for sin. (Rom 8:1)

 This is why God says of the New Covenant: Heb 10:17  Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more. (NKJV)

Those who know Christ as their personal Saviour are completely free from the penalty of sin! Praise The Lord!

 Christ forgave and took away ALL our sin, past, present and future.

 1 Jn 1:7 The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from ALL sin. (NKJV)

 PAST: Do you still carry the guilt for sin committed in your past. For people you hurt, things you did wrong. Rejoice! Christ has taken away ALL your sin.

 PRESENT: Does satan accuse and condemn you for your mistakes, failures and sins. Rejoice! Christ has taken away ALL your sin.

 FUTURE: Whatever sin we may commit in the future, Christ took the punishment for them upon Himself 2000 yrs ago. Rejoice! Christ has taken away all your sin.

When this becomes revelation to us, we see that satan has no grounds to accuse or condemn the believer in Jesus Christ.

We can now live each day in peace with a guilt free conscience.

Meditation Point: God has not only forgiven ALL my sin, He has also taken it away!
