OUR FATHER WHO MADE AN ETERNAL SACRIFICE ONCE AND FOR ALL

Hebrews chapter 9 verse 14 says this;

How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God! 

This verse describes the efficacy and the excellency of the blood of Christ. The unblemished sacrifice, offered to God by Christ through the eternal Spirit, has the power to cleanse our consciences so that the guilt of our sins in the flesh which lead to death, is washed away and we are able to serve God.

The verse also shows how the once-and-for-all sacrifice far exceeds the sacrifice of goats and bulls and heifers that were prescribed under the old covenant which had to be repeated over and over and even then, only cleansed externally.

The perfection of the sacrifice that Christ made of Himself, in the greater and more perfect eternal tabernacle in heaven, obtained for us eternal redemption.

Christ, having died as a ransom to set free those who committed infractions of the laws enumerated under the old covenant, is the mediator of a new covenant which promises an eternal inheritance to those who are called.

Those cleansed from sins that lead to death, are made alive in Christ so that by their living, they may serve the living God.

Amen.
