Purpose of Book
Christ, who has accomplished salvation through His atoning sacrifice, is greater than all things; therefore, persevere in true faith and encourage others to do likewise
Main Point
Upon the death of Christ where He shed blood for sins, the New Covenant is enacted redeeming transgressions committed under the first covenant
Hebrews 9:15-17 - The New Covenant is Established by Christ’s Death
Therefore he is the mediator of a new covenant,
Mediator
Moses mediated the first covenant
Jesus mediated the second covenant upon his death thus signifying that the first covenant mediated by Moses was obsolete
New Covenant
So that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance,
Those who are called
God’s powerful work in those who are His followers
Eternal Inheritance
The inheritance includes more than mercy/grace received at salvation
The inheritance is also futuristic and we will receive these realities in the future
The inheritance is also guaranteed by the work of Christ where he presented his blood in the heavenly tabernacle
The eternal inheritance can also be called “the heavenly city” which is promised to believers
Since a death has occurred that redeems them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant.
Since a death has occurred that redeems
The death of Jesus Christ redeems sinners doing what the first covenant could not do
Death was also required for forgiveness/redemption
Transgressions committed under the first covenant
The first/old covenant did not bring people into God’s presence, but symbolically pointed to the new where people are brought into God’s presence
For where a will is involved, the death of the one who made it must be established.
Death of the one who made it must be established
Upon death the covenant is enacted and distributions are made
Christ’s death enacts the new covenant
For a will takes effect only at death, since it is not in force as long as the one who made it is alive.
There is no valid way to claim an inheritance while one is still living
The covenant only becomes valid upon death
Hebrews 9:18-22 - The Blood of the First Covenant
Therefore
Not even the first covenant was inaugurated without blood.
Inaugurated
LXX Putting the altar and Temple into service
Covenant is the basis for the sanctuary
Not… without blood
For when every commandment of the law had been declared by Moses to all the people,
Commandment of the law had been declared
He took the blood of calves and goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,
Water, scarlet wool, hyssop
None of these elements are in Exodus 24, but are involved in Numbers 19 for purification laws
Saying, “This is the blood of the covenant that God commanded for you.”
And in the same way he sprinkled with the blood both the tent and all the vessels used in worship.
Tent
All the vessels
Altar
High priest garments
Veil of the sanctuary
Mercy Seat
Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.
Almost everything is purified with blood
Not all sacrifices included a blood offering
Grain offerings
Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins
Though blood was shed in the tabernacle under the Mosaic covenant, it only purified the external
Only through the sacrifice of Jesus can individuals truly be forgiven
Application
You have an eternal inheritance!
The death of Christ establishes the New Covenant rending the Old Covenant obsolete
Main Point
Upon the death of Christ, where He shed blood for sins, the New Covenant is enacted and He redeemed transgressions committed under the first covenant
