8. Hebrews 11:1-2, 4
Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. 2 This is what the ancients were commended for. 4 By faith Abel brought God a better offering than Cain did.

11. Leviticus 16:15
15 “He shall then slaughter the goat for the sin offering for the people and take its blood behind the curtain and do with it as he did with the bull’s blood: He shall sprinkle it on the atonement cover and in front of it. 16 In this way he will make atonement for the Most Holy Place because of the uncleanness and rebellion of the Israelites, whatever their sins have been.

14. Hebrews 7:27
27 Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once for all when he offered himself.
