10:14 What does it mean that Christ has perfected forever them that are sanctified?
10:14 What does it mean that Christ has perfected forever them that are sanctified?
The writer here is contrasting the completeness of Christ's sacrificial death under the new covenant which brings salvation to all who believe on Him, with the incompleteness of the animal sacrifices under the old covenant, which could save no one.
And whereas the animal sacrifices had to be offered repeatedly, Christ had only to offer Himself once.
Everything essential to salvation was included in the one offering which atoned for the sins of all mankind, past, present, and future (CP V1-12; 7:18-19, 22, 27; 8:6-13; 9:15, 25-26; 1Jn 2:2).
Them that are sanctified are believers.
