What are the two absolutes that can never be compromised?
The two absolutes that can never be compromised are: without the shedding of blood there is no remission, and without faith it is impossible to please God. Scripture presents these as non-negotiable foundations of God's program, which cannot be detoured around, gone over, or under.
Les teaches that these two absolutes are drawn from Hebrews. He explains that the first absolute is that without the shedding of blood there is no remission, which is why the blood aspect of the Gospel cannot be compromised. The second absolute is from Hebrews chapter 11: without faith it is impossible to please Him. Les emphasizes that you cannot avoid these truths; you must face them head on. He connects the first absolute to the Lamb who was slain and redeemed us to God by His blood, and the second to the necessity of faith.
And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
