Daily Sacrifices

Hebrews 10:2b because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.

If the daily sacrifices were for clearing of the conscience of sinners, how often did these worshippers have to return to offer up another sacrifice? Daily? Obviously not because then they would never return home to work. The purge had to have lasted for some time.

Now the sins of the nation were absolved by the high priest once a year. That did not cover the personal conscience of individual worshippers. We know that was an annual event, but the daily sacrifices went on continually because men waited in line to present their personal conscience sacrifices.

Once again, how often did each man have to return to clear his conscience? That is unknown. What is our equivalent daily sacrifice to clear our conscience? Do we simply say Christ died for my sins, once and for all and clear our conscience from any sin we commit because we are covered by a more perfect high priest?

Romans 5:21, 6:1-2 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

What is our daily sacrifice for a clear conscience?

How about making sin the sacrifice? How about making the sacrifice of not performing the sin in the first place? Will that keep your conscience clean?
