2 Thessalonians 3:5, AMP, God’s heart is the acknowledgment of our sins against Him and to obey His law and statutes that are the essential requirement and to “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind (Matt 22:37, NIV).”
Once we fulfill this requirement, then God can do His work in us. Jesus came so He could “proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners” (Isaiah 61:1, NIV) and set us free from bondage.
Jesus’s mission was to endorse the Lamb, that was Himself, who would take up our sins and delete the temple sacrifice.
God hated blood sacrifices because they did not forgive sins forever, just for that moment, and the next moment someone would sin, then an animal sacrifice would have to be performed. “What makes you think I want all your sacrifices? Says the Lord. I am sick of your burnt offerings of rams and the fat of fattened cattle. I get no pleasure from the blood of bulls and lambs and goats (Isa 1:11, NIV).”
Our hearts atoned to God’s Word, and we relish every day, 24/7 of every hour, looking to be righteous in the Triune’s sight. We will repent now or on the last day, which is too late, but every knee will bow to the SON of MAN. God does not want us to perish but to have “everlasting” life with Him in Heaven.
