Question 1 :
"Why do the high priests have to keep offering the different sacrifices again and again when Christ said in v5 that GOD did not desire sacrifice and offering?
Answer 1 :
Because GOD is Holy and before Jesus came, the only way man can reach Him is through sacrificing the animals for the cleansing of their sins.
Because He loves us and wants to be our GOD that He first initiated to reach out to Abraham in Genesis and this shows His heart to have fellowship with His creatures (men).
Question 2 :
"Why only when Jesus said "Here I am, I have come to do Your will. He sets aside the first to establish the second." are we made holy?
Answer 2 :
If only we could see and feel with our hearts what Jesus Christ has demonstrated for us on the cross -
His obedience to The Father in heaven,
His great sacrifice of heaven's glory; being fully God and then came to earth as fully man.
His great love for us to suffer humility, pain, torture, the worst death during the Roman's reign, in order to redeem us with His precious blood for without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sin. He, being the perfect Lamb of GOD, the only Sacrifice acceptable to our Holy GOD, could atone for our sins once an for all so that we do not need high priests to continually offer sacrifices for our sins but we can simply come to the Holy GOD any time in Jesus' Name.
In Jesus' Name we are made righteous and holy in GOD's sight and that is why we are no longer bound by the first law or covenant but we are now in the age of grace - grace through the Lord Jesus Christ.
Question 3 :
"What does it mean in v16 it says GOD will put His laws in our hearts and write them on our minds and He will remember our sins and lawless acts no more?"
Answer 3 :
Because the first set of laws were written in tablets (the 10 commandments GOD gave to Moses on Mt Sinai in Exodus), now He writes them on the human hearts and minds. In Ecclesiastes 3:11 says GOD has set eternity in the hearts of men - only GOD can fill that void in our hearts as we are His creation, created only for Him and only He can satisfy us - no one, nothing from the world can fill that void He has put in our hearts.
Because our hearts are deceitfully sinful, we are wilful and have free will, we are prone to wander away from Him. We belong to Him in the first place and now with Christ's redemption, we are twice own by GOD. In Proverbs it says only fools says there is no GOD. May the Holy Spirit opens our eyes and hearts to see who we are in Christ Jesus, what we are to Him and all the spiritual inheritance we have in Him and through Him.
Praise the Lord for what He has done that GOD has forgiven us and will not remember our sins and lawless acts,
