4.What is it that the blood of bulls and goats can never do?

It can never take away sins.

It is impossible for the blood of animals to remove our sins from us. Only the blood of Christ possesses the authority and power to forgive our sins, to remove our tendencies toward sin, and to repair in our lives all of the damage done by our sinning. We can overcome sin and the devil through the blood of the Lamb.

Furthermore, as we drink the blood of Christ we receive into ourselves the life of Christ so we can live victoriously moment by moment by His Divine life that is within us.

The blood of bulls and goats made an atonement for sin, in the sense of obtaining Divine forgiveness. The difference in the atonement made by Christ is that the sin is not only forgiven but removed. As we follow the Lord in the program of redemption, the sin and self-will are destroyed from our personality. The final, complete removal will take place at Christ’s coming provided we have laid the groundwork today.
