Thank you for all your posts, I uphold the Law that it is good righteous, perfect and correct, seeing that I am in an unredeemed body of flesh and blood, I need the new life Christ came to give us. Now I personally found it, rather God showed me it in the resurrected Christ, his son who took away the sin of the world through his death
John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the
Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin
of the world.
John 19:30

Hebrews 9:15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new

Hebrews 9:16 For where a
testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
Hebrews 9:17 For a
testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.
