One Sacrifice for Sins Forever
“then he has said, “Behold, I have come to do your will.” He takes away the first, that he may establish the second, by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. Every priest indeed stands day by day serving and often offering the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins, but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God; from that time waiting until his enemies are made the footstool of his feet. For by one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.” (Hebrews 10:9-14 WEB)
Once for all.
One sacrifice for sins forever.
By one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.
The Holy Spirit inspired the writer to repeat the “one sacrifice for sins forever” idea three times.
He must have foreseen that many people would be trying to offer their own additional sacrifices to earn their salvation; that many would be afraid of somehow committing an unpardonable sin and losing their salvation.
Some believers use the same chapter, Hebrews 10, to show how believers can lose their salvation, but actually Hebrews 10 shows us how perfectly saved and forgiven we are.
You have been sanctified and forever perfected by the one-time offering of the blood of Jesus.
To explain it clearer, you have been born again through the Holy Spirit to become a new creature in Christ that still lives in the body of flesh you were first born with.
““Most certainly I tell you, he who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life, and doesn’t come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.” (John 5:24 WEB)
Your spirit inside has passed out of death, into eternal life. You can no longer be under the Old Covenant of the Law because you have been set free from it through sharing in Jesus’ death at the cross.
You were also raised from the dead as a new creation in Christ, and you entered into the New Covenant of Grace. This means you are adopted into God’s family as His child, seated with Christ in Heaven. When God looks at you, He sees Jesus because you are a member of His body—you are “in Christ”.
Just as Jesus is seated at the right hand of Abba God, waiting for His enemies to be put under His feet as a footstool, so are you seated there as Him because you are in Him.
The posture we ought to live by is not as the Jesus that was tested by the devil in the wilderness and humiliatingly beaten by men on the way to the cross.
We are now living as the Jesus who is seated in Heaven next to Abba God, far above all principalities, powers, and every dominion in existence.
“and what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might which he worked in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is to come. He put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things for the assembly, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.” (Ephesians 1:19-23 WEB)
Now what we are waiting for is the last part of our redemption, which is the salvation of our body. When Jesus returns for His saints, our mortal bodies will be transformed into immortal glorified bodies, and our outward perfection will match what has already happened in our spirit. This is what all Christians ought to be focusing on and waiting for. It is our blessed hope!
Declare: “Just like Jesus, I am forever perfected and sanctified, seated at the right hand of Abba God, far above all principalities and powers. I have passed out of death into eternal life, and I am just waiting for Abba God to put every enemy under my feet as a footstool. The last enemy to be abolished is death, and that will happen when Jesus returns, and my mortal body is transformed into an immortal body. I am not waiting for death, but looking forward to eternal life in a new body. Thank You Abba God for this blessed hope. In Jesus’ name, Amen!”
God has equipped us with mighty spiritual weapons in Christ. When we know how to use them, we can emerge victorious over every spiritual warfare.
