Priests to God
Notes
Transcript
“Then you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the tabernacle of meeting and wash them with water. You shall put the holy garments on Aaron, and anoint him and consecrate him, that he may minister to Me as priest. And you shall bring his sons and clothe them with tunics. You shall anoint them, as you anointed their father, that they may minister to Me as priests; for their anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.”
Aaron was washed
A holy garment was put on him
he was anointed with oil - smear with oil
he was consecrated - dedicate, set apart, sanctified, be holy
he ministered before the Lord - serve as a priest
As I read this it reminded me of what Christ has done for you and I and all those who call on His name
washed - wash off, wash away
washed - wash off, wash away
clothed
anointed
Sanctified - set apart, be holy, to separate from the profane things and dedicate to God, purify, free from guilt
justified - justify, declare righteous, to render just or innocent, be righteous, to declare, pronounce one righteous, just
Washed - our sins are washed away, we have been made clean
that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word,
let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.
And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.’
But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,
and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth.
To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
Sanctified set apart, made holy
To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all who in every place call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:
Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James,
To those who are called, sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ:
By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.
And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth.
denotes the act of pronouncing righteous, justification, acquittal; its precise meaning is determined by that of the verb dikaioō, to justify (see B); it is used twice in the Ep. to the Romans, and there alone in the N.T., signifying the establishment of a person as just by acquittal from guilt
Justification is fundamentally a divine declaration that a believer is in the right with God and righteous before God.

Clothed We have put on a new man. Our garments are now righteousness in Him
But we are all like an unclean thing,
And all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags;
We all fade as a leaf,
And our iniquities, like the wind,
Have taken us away.
For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
2 cor 5:17
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation.
and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.
Eph 4:24
and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him,

And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.
Sanctified - set apart, be holy, to separate from the profane things and dedicate to God, purify, free from guilt

John
And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth.
Anointed - all of us
Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God,
2 Cor
But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.
1 John 2:
But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.
1 John 2:
Justified
denotes the act of pronouncing righteous, justification, acquittal; its precise meaning is determined by that of the verb dikaioō, to justify (see B); it is used twice in the Ep. to the Romans, and there alone in the N.T., signifying the establishment of a person as just by acquittal from guilt
Justification is fundamentally a divine declaration that a believer is in the right with God and righteous before God.
But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.
Rom
Rom 5:1
Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that through this Man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins;
Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that through this Man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins; and by Him everyone who believes is justified from all things from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
For he who has died has been freed from sin.
Has ben - declared righteous
Justification (declared to be right) and sanctification (living right)
A holy priesthood
The New King James Version Chapter 2
4 Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, 5 you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
Do we see ourselves as a holy people, set apart, washed, clothed for service to our God?
