The Law is only a shadow of the good things to come, not the realities themselves. It can never, by the same sacrifices offered year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship. Cross References Romans 8:3For what the Law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful man, as an offering for sin. He thus condemned sin in the flesh, Colossians 2:17 These are a shadow of the things to come, but the body that casts it belongs to Christ. Hebrews 7:11 Now if perfection could have been attained through the Levitical priesthood (upon which basis the people received the Law), why was there still need for another priest to appear--one in the order of Melchizedek and not in the order of Aaron? Hebrews 7:19 (for the Law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God. Hebrews 8:5 They serve at a copy and shadow of the heavenly sanctuary. That is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle, "See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain." Hebrews 9:9 It is an illustration for the present time, because the gifts and sacrifices being offered were unable to cleanse the conscience of the worshiper. Hebrews 9:11 But when Christ came as high priest of the good things that have come, He entered the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made by hands (that is, not of this creation). Hebrews 10:4 because it is impossible for the blood of bulls and of goats to take away sins. Hebrews 10:11 Day after day every priest stands to minister and to offer again and again the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. Hebrews 10:14 because by a single offering He has made perfect for all time those who are sanctified. Hebrews 10:22 let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.
