"Rejection"

"For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh." (Psalms 38:7) To be humiliated before God, does not necessarily count towards anything more than knowing you have messed up, because there still is the act of atonement for our sin; something that can only be accomplished by God. In the Garden, God rejected the fig leaves as a proper covering for Adam and Eve's nakedness, and He made then coverings that were from the skins of animals; meaning that there required a blood sacrifice for there to be a true covering; yet it did not remove the sinfulness. Even the burnt offerings that were offered at the alter did not remove sin, they only covered the sin; thereby allowing God to wink upon the sin, as if He were letting it slide for a moment. The word "loins" comes from a word that means flank, hope, folly, loins, or confidence; it comes to reason, that if you were to serve up the fatten calf to a guest, then it would be a calf that had fat upon it's loins; just so happens, that the fat of the animal is what was offered upon the alter. I am just saying, if God were going to reject our offering, then there would be a couple of reasons for that to happen; such as, the lack of fat, or confidence, both of which involve not being sincere, either in the offering given, or with a heart that wants forgiveness. Then again, if hope is that which we seek, then our hope is that which is "filled with a loathsome disease"; because until our sins are actually removed, we have a hope that still requires being healed and delivered from sin. It is only the blood of Jesus that can remove our sins, and all other forms of sacrifice or offerings are rejected for that purpose of atonement from sin; therefore without the blood of Jesus, there is no hope for true forgiveness of sin... "For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; that being justified by His grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life." (Titus 3:3-7)
