Stated will of God: "I will have mercy, and not sacrifice".
Psalms 40:6; 51:16; Hosea 6:6; Matthew 9:13; Heb 10.

All who didn't all died and received not the promise: Heb 11.

Mercy first, nullifies sacrifice(slaughter).
First finished negates second finished.
Adding slaughter(sacrifice) adds death.
Sin, when "it is finished", brings death.
Mercy rejoiceth against judgment.

They haven't received the promise YET - "that they without us should not be made perfect." (Hebrews 11:40)

Hebrews 11 is a list of people who obeyed God (did His will) because they had faith in Him.

And He is faithful. They will receive the promise when Christ returns to take the faithful to heaven:

"For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent [precede] them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: [There goes Abraham, Enoch, Noah, etc...] Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord." (1 Thessalonians 4:14-17)


The sacrifices in the Old Testament were a fortelling of Jesus ("the Lamb slain from the foundation of the earth" Rev 13:8) that God told the people to do. Obedience in following that system was not counted against the faithful. The sacrificial system pointed forward to the true sacrifice that would take away sin once and for all.


"I will have mercy, and not sacrifice." Jesus told those who were thinking themselves better than others to go and find out what that means. It is better to have a "contrite heart" that is willing to follow God no matter what (don't flip off that driver that just cut you off) than get down on your knees to ask forgiveness for it later. "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" Romans 3:23

i replaced into hoping you had a question, in spite of the shown certainty that it form of feels you have been growing to be an exceedingly puzzled fact. particular, via making use of the way, doing the want of God precedes the promise of heavenly reward, yet now no longer salvation. Romans 5:8 we are able to purely settle for what God has freely provided.

I was hoping you had a question, but it seems you were making a very confused statement.

Yes, by the way, doing the will of God precedes the promise of heavenly reward, but not salvation. Romans 5:8

We can only accept what God has freely offered.
