Abraham in the place of his son Isaac, for by faith Abraham was

               willing to give, but his sacrifice was not worthy. Freely

               Abraham received the ram in the thicket, for his faith was, God

               would provide a sacrifice.


               Genesis 22:8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide

               himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them

               together.


               Righteous sin is a veil, a false covering, something we feel like

               is good in God’s sight, but it is evil in his sight. The

               condemnation of sin made Adam cover himself with fig leaves.

               This false righteousness was fine until God appeared; the

               holiness of God’s presence reveals hypocrisy. When Jesus

               confronted the religious leaders of his day, he found them with

               indoctrination of fig leaves. They had twisted and perverted the

               law to cover their sin, but made it impossible for common

               people to be saved. Through works of Judaism of will worship

               Paul calls it.A man can feel a satisfaction, that he has


               accomplished something or paid a debt. This is a veil of

               deception, the sacrifice of Cain, the fig leaves of Adam.

               John 7:47-49 Then answered them the Pharisees, Are you also


               deceived? Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on
               him?( Jesus) But this people(who believe Jesus) who know not


               the law are cursed.

               There are no curses in Christ. It is only on those outside the veil

               who remain under the Law.
