Romans 8:1-6 (Part Two)

But grace without a blood sacrifice is not true grace.

If only our Jewish friends would see this and embrace the blood atonement of the Son of God and be saved. Apart from blood atonement, there is no salvation.

Leviticus, 17:11, " For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul."

I would agree with you on the Christian's perspective, as long as one is "thinking" correctly they are in right standard with God. My point is that Judaism focuses on "action." I would correct you though concerning Judaism. Judaism does not try and "earn" salvation, there perspective of salvation is very different from Christianity, but they do believe they are saved by the grace of God as you and I do.

I would simply change that to Christianity focusing on what Jesus did for us as teh blood sacrifice required by the Law and then does through us by the power of God's Spirit.

Judaism focuses on what the sinner can do to try to remove the consequences of sin, apart from the blood sacrifice required by the Law, leaving a sinner without a blood sacrifice to die like the Egyptians who did not have the blood applied from the spotless Lamb.

One of the major differences between Judaism and Christianity is in Christianity the focus is on what you "think" while in Judaism it is what you "do."

Amen and amen.
