And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment.

Jesus Christ was crucified in the same mountain-Joseph Prince Sermon)
Isaiah 53:3-5 He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief. Like one from whom men hide their faces, He was despised, and we esteemed Him not.

For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.” Thus says the LORD, Who gives the sun for a light by day, The ordinances of the moon and the stars for a light by night, Who disturbs the sea, And its waves roar (The LORD of hosts is His name):
Jeremiah 33:15-16 ‘In those days and at that time I will cause to grow up to David A Branch of Righteousness; He shall execute judgment and righteousness in the earth.

That when I preach the gospel, I may present the gospel of Christ without charge, that I may not abuse my authority in the gospel. For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win the more;
Luke 9:2 He sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.

The Fall of Adam. Dominion Authority to Reign in Life lost. We’re all born sinners. Cain’s offering not a blood sacrifice, God had to show them how to burn offerings signifying the Blood Sacrifice. Christ is our Blood Sacrifice.

Genesis 3:11-12 “Who told you that you were naked?” asked the LORD God. “Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?” Then the man said, “The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.

Hebrews 8:1- Now this is the main point of the things we are saying: We have such a High Priest, who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, a Minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle which the Lord erected, and not man. For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. Therefore it is necessary that this One also have something to offer. For if He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are priests who offer the gifts according to the law;
Hebrews 8:6 But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises.
