The Established will of the Father

The establish will of the Father

To have a better understanding of the second established will of the Father it is imperative that we have a fair understanding of the first established will which was replaced by the second established will. The apostle Paul in the book of Hebrews wrote concerning Jesus Christ stating; “Therefore, when He came into the world, He said: "Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, But a body You have prepared for Me. In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin You had no pleasure. Then I said, 'Behold, I have come --- In the volume of the book it is written of Me --- To do Your will, O God. "

Previously saying, "Sacrifice and offering, burnt offerings, and offerings for sin You did not desire, nor had pleasure in them" (which are offered according to the law), then He said, "Behold, I have come to do Your will, O God." He takes away the first that He may establish the second. By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all” (Hebrews 10:5-10).

And so the second will of the Father which abolished and made obsolete the first established will of the Father has everything to do with the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once and for all: Because, according to the law on which the first will was established, the people were required to offer sacrifices and offerings which could not present the worshiper perfect before God.

As it is written; “It was symbolic for the present time in which both gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot make him who performed the service perfect in regard to the conscience --- concerned only with foods and drinks, various washings, and fleshly ordinances imposed until the time of reformation.”  And because, “the law, having a shadow of the good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with these same sacrifices, which they offer continually year by year, make those who approach perfect.”

The irony of truth is, if these sacrifices were able to meet their objectives, they would not have ceased to be offered. For the worshipers, once purified, would have had no more consciousness of sins. But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year: For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins” (Hebrews 9:9-10; 10: 1-4).

Therefore, the first that was taken away was the substances used in the sacrifices and offering, burnt offerings, sin offerings and the one who offers them but not the offerings themselves and the appointed times which were ordained to offer to the Lord the food for His offerings as we have been duly instructed saying; "Command the children of Israel, and say to them, 'My offering, My food for My offerings made by fire as a sweet aroma to Me, you shall be careful to offer to Me at their appointed time" (Numbers 28:2).

And so the established will of God has everything to do with how we can have fellowship with the Father and with the Son and with one another in a perfect, blameless and irreproachable state in the sight of the Most High.
