Figure, Fulfillment, and Final Proof

Summary

Elder Dan Sammons preaches on the Old Testament figure of the scapegoat as a type of Christ's atoning work, emphasizing the continuity and discontinuity between the Old Testament sacrifices and Christ's perfect sacrifice. He explains that Christ alone obtained eternal redemption for His people, and that faith in this truth is a blessing that purges the conscience from reliance on works. The sermon highlights God's everlasting love that precedes human response and the importance of understanding salvation as a completed work by Christ, not dependent on human effort.
