Christ’s Sacrifice Once for All
The old system under the law of Moses was only a shadow, a dim preview of the good things to come, not the good things themselves. The sacrifices under that system were repeated again and again, year after year, but they were never able to provide perfect cleansing for those who came to worship.

One Sacrifice of Christ Is Sufficient
For the Law, since it has only a shadow of the good things to come and not the very form of things, can never, by the same sacrifices which they offer continually year by year, make perfect those who draw near.
For the Law, since it has only a shadow of the good things to come and not the very form of things, can never, by the same sacrifices which they offer continually year by year, make perfect those who draw near.
If they could have provided perfect cleansing, the sacrifices would have stopped, for the worshipers would have been purified once for all time, and their feelings of guilt would have disappeared.
Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, because the worshipers, having once been cleansed, would no longer have had consciousness of sins?
But instead, those sacrifices actually reminded them of their sins year after year.
But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins year by year.
For it is not possible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
Therefore, when He comes into the world, He says,
“SACRIFICE AND OFFERING YOU HAVE NOT DESIRED,
BUT A BODY YOU HAVE PREPARED FOR ME;
“SACRIFICE AND OFFERING YOU HAVE NOT DESIRED,
BUT A BODY YOU HAVE PREPARED FOR ME;
You were not pleased with burnt offerings
or other offerings for sin.
or other offerings for sin.
IN WHOLE BURNT OFFERINGS AND sacrifices FOR SIN YOU HAVE TAKEN NO PLEASURE.
“THEN I SAID, ‘BEHOLD, I HAVE COME
(IN THE SCROLL OF THE BOOK IT IS WRITTEN OF ME)
TO DO YOUR WILL, O GOD.’”
(IN THE SCROLL OF THE BOOK IT IS WRITTEN OF ME)
TO DO YOUR WILL, O GOD.’”
First, Christ said, “You did not want animal sacrifices or sin offerings or burnt offerings or other offerings for sin, nor were you pleased with them” (though they are required by the law of Moses).
After saying above, “SACRIFICES AND OFFERINGS AND WHOLE BURNT OFFERINGS AND sacrifices FOR SIN YOU HAVE NOT DESIRED, NOR HAVE YOU TAKEN PLEASURE in them” (which are offered according to the Law),
Then he said, “Look, I have come to do your will.” He cancels the first covenant in order to put the second into effect.
then He said, “BEHOLD, I HAVE COME TO DO YOUR WILL.” He takes away the first in order to establish the second.
For God’s will was for us to be made holy by the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all time.
By this will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
Under the old covenant, the priest stands and ministers before the altar day after day, offering the same sacrifices again and again, which can never take away sins.
Every priest stands daily ministering and offering time after time the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins;
But our High Priest offered himself to God as a single sacrifice for sins, good for all time. Then he sat down in the place of honor at God’s right hand.
but He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, SAT DOWN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD,
There he waits until his enemies are humbled and made a footstool under his feet.
waiting from that time onward UNTIL HIS ENEMIES BE MADE A FOOTSTOOL FOR HIS FEET.
For by that one offering he forever made perfect those who are being made holy.
For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified.
And the Holy Spirit also testifies that this is so. For he says,
And the Holy Spirit also testifies to us; for after saying,
“THIS IS THE COVENANT THAT I WILL MAKE WITH THEM
AFTER THOSE DAYS, SAYS THE LORD:
I WILL PUT MY LAWS UPON THEIR HEART,
AND ON THEIR MIND I WILL WRITE THEM,”
He then says,
AFTER THOSE DAYS, SAYS THE LORD:
I WILL PUT MY LAWS UPON THEIR HEART,
AND ON THEIR MIND I WILL WRITE THEM,”
He then says,
“AND THEIR SINS AND THEIR LAWLESS DEEDS
I WILL REMEMBER NO MORE.”
I WILL REMEMBER NO MORE.”
And when sins have been forgiven, there is no need to offer any more sacrifices.
Now where there is forgiveness of these things, there is no longer any offering for sin.
A New and Living Way
Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus,
by a new and living way which He inaugurated for us through the veil, that is, His flesh,
And since we have a great High Priest who rules over God’s house,
and since we have a great priest over the house of God,
let us go right into the presence of God with sincere hearts fully trusting him. For our guilty consciences have been sprinkled with Christ’s blood to make us clean, and our bodies have been washed with pure water.
let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.
Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise.
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful;
Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works.
and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds,
And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.
not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.
Dear friends, if we deliberately continue sinning after we have received knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice that will cover these sins.
Christ or Judgment
For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,
There is only the terrible expectation of God’s judgment and the raging fire that will consume his enemies.
but a terrifying expectation of judgment and THE FURY OF A FIRE WHICH WILL CONSUME THE ADVERSARIES.
For anyone who refused to obey the law of Moses was put to death without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.
Anyone who has set aside the Law of Moses dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.
Just think how much worse the punishment will be for those who have trampled on the Son of God, and have treated the blood of the covenant, which made us holy, as if it were common and unholy, and have insulted and disdained the Holy Spirit who brings God’s mercy to us.
How much severer punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?
For we know Him who said, “VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY.” And again, “THE LORD WILL JUDGE HIS PEOPLE.”
It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
But remember the former days, when, after being enlightened, you endured a great conflict of sufferings,
Sometimes you were exposed to public ridicule and were beaten, and sometimes you helped others who were suffering the same things.
partly by being made a public spectacle through reproaches and tribulations, and partly by becoming sharers with those who were so treated.
You suffered along with those who were thrown into jail, and when all you owned was taken from you, you accepted it with joy. You knew there were better things waiting for you that will last forever.
For you showed sympathy to the prisoners and accepted joyfully the seizure of your property, knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession and a lasting one.
So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you!
Therefore, do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward.
Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that he has promised.
For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised.
“For in just a little while,
the Coming One will come and not delay.
the Coming One will come and not delay.
FOR YET IN A VERY LITTLE WHILE,
HE WHO IS COMING WILL COME, AND WILL NOT DELAY.
HE WHO IS COMING WILL COME, AND WILL NOT DELAY.
BUT MY RIGHTEOUS ONE SHALL LIVE BY FAITH;
AND IF HE SHRINKS BACK, MY SOUL HAS NO PLEASURE IN HIM.
AND IF HE SHRINKS BACK, MY SOUL HAS NO PLEASURE IN HIM.
