The Superiority of Christ's SacrificeHebrews 9 contrasts the blood of goats with the blood of Christ, explaining how Jesus offered Himself through the eternal spirit to cleanse our conscience from dead works.
The Danger of a Dead ConscienceJust as leprosy robs a person of physical sensation, a deadened conscience allows sin to go unfelt and uncorrected.
Hearing His Voice and Eternal LifeTrue sheep of Jesus hear His voice and follow Him, and the promise of eternal life belongs specifically to those who obey.John 10:27
Paul's Example of a Blameless ConsciencePaul stood before Felix and explained that his entire aim was to keep his conscience blameless before God and men twenty-four hours a day in light of the resurrection.
The Urgency of Forgiving OthersHolding grudges is a mark of spiritual leprosy; Jesus makes it clear that failure to forgive others from the heart results in God withholding forgiveness.Matthew 6:15
Making Things Right and Turning to JesusLike Zacchaeus, believers must promptly set right past wrongs in financial matters and interpersonal relationships rather than wasting time in gossip.
