Faithful ministers keep themselves free of sin through Jesus Christ.

“After he is cleansed, they shall count seven days for him. And on the day that he goes to the sanctuary to minister in the sanctuary, he must offer his sin offering in the inner court,” says the Lord God.” Ezekiel 44:26-27

The priests, during the days of Ezekiel, had to offer a sin offering before entering into the sanctuary of the temple. As is obvious, the earthly priests have inherited sin. We have a Priest, whose name is Jesus Christ, who is sinless and never had a need to atone for His own sin. When He atoned for our sin on the altar of the Cross, that was done once and for everyone, as quoted, “For such a High Priest was fitting for us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and has become higher than the heavens; who does not need daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the people’s, for this He did once for all when He offered up Himself.” Hebrews 7:27

Today, we who live for Jesus Christ are the ministers of His Gospel, to shine the light of His Good News, “But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light…” 1 Peter 2:9 We are His faithful few ministers in this atheistic world that denies God, rejects Jesus Christ, and oppresses the presence of the Holy Spirit.

We are able to stay in the sanctuary of God, in the presence of His Spirit, through Jesus Christ. We embrace our Lord Jesus twenty-four hours a day and seven days a week, “A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also. At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.” John 14:19-21

“My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world.” 1 John 2:1-2

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:11
