OUR FATHER WHOSE SON PERFECTED THOSE WHO ARE BEING SANCTIFIED

The book of Hebrews chapter 10 verses 11 - 18 says this;

 11 And every priest stands ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 12 But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God, 13 from that time waiting till His enemies are made His footstool. 14 For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.

15 But the Holy Spirit also witnesses to us; for after He had said before,

16 “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them,” 17 then He adds, “Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.” 18 Now where there is remission of these, there is no longer an offering for sin.

The daily sacrifices, being shadows of the actual requirements to clean men from sin, did not have the power to take sin away but the One Man from heaven who appeared on eath to be the perfect sacrifice by which those who were to be sanctified were going to be perfected.

Going further, the writer of Hebrews explains that the Spirit of God, through the writers of the old testament, described the nature of the coming new covenant which would not be carved into the stones like the ten commandments but rather would be spiritually written into the hearts and minds of men and their sins would be erased. Thus the new covenant was one where santification is undertaken on the hearts and minds of those who were under the covenant of faith.

The passage ends with a caution that points to the finality of the offering that was made and for those whose have the remission of sins, have no other method by which they can be saved from their sins if they abandon the process of sanctification.

Amen.
