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.
