The Perfect Law Converts The Soul

"The law of the L-RD is perfect, converting the soul:..."  Psalm 19:7a  The law of the L-Rd is the only law that is perfect and it is the only law that can convert the soul. No religious law or govenrmental law is perfect and it can not change any soul.  The soul needs to be converted, turned back, from going its own way to going G-d's way.  "All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way;..."  Isaiah 53:6a

The perfect  law of G-d is all about our sin, to show us the difference between right and wrong, to show us how holy G-d is and to show us how sinful we are.  The law also shows us the need for blood to wash away our sin and to be made right with G-d.  Leviticus 17:11 shows us that G-d would provide the blood sacrifice for the soul."For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul."  This verse is not talking about the animals given by the people to the priests to make a blood sacrifice for their sins but this is talking about a blood sacrifice that G-d himself would give for the soul.

"Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.  For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: how much more shall the blood of Messiah who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to G-d, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living G-d?"  Hebrews 9:12 - 14

Trusting G-d's blood atonement will change a person from going their own way to going G-d's way.  It is the only way.
