The Brazen Altar had four sides to it. One side offered the sins we committed were passed away. The next side was the sins of our old nature
was made new. If any man be in Christ
the past is washed away and he becomes a new creation in Christ. All things become new.
II Cor.5:17
Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creation old things are passed
away; behold, all things become new. Our
wills are to exchanged for not my will but yours, when we come to Christ.
Rom. 6:6
Knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, in order that
our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves
to sin.
The third side of the altar is a picture of the hold
of sin being broken off of us. All things
are to become new. We have victory over
the sins of the flesh. Sin should not
reign over us, but we should reign over sin.
Sin is to be put to death. Our
will's given over to His.
Fourth horn of the altar is a picture of us giving
our lives to God. We are not to live
after the flesh that brings forth death, but to be transformed or made anew by
the power of God inside of us.
Romans 6:10-12.
We come
to the cross and He puts our sins away by His own blood. When, we ask Him to come into our heart and
be our Savior. We die to sin and walk in
a new way. Every day we go back to the
cross not to get forgiveness, but to lay our will on the cross and do His will.
The four
corners or horns on the altar represents the world. We are to do our part in winning a lost world
to Jesus. We start where we are with
telling our neighbors, friends, classmates, or family about the blood of Jesus
that takes away the sins of the world.
We must all come to the cross to be saved from God's wrath poured out on
sin.
Have we died to sin and come alive in Christ. The flesh in us will drive people away from Christ.
