"Once and for ALL"

“Once and for ALL”

 

For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with human hands that was only a copy of the true one; He entered Heaven itself, now to appear for us in God’s presence.     Hebrews 9:24

Nor did He enter Heaven to offer Himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own.     (V25)

Otherwise Christ would have had to suffer many times since the creation of the world.  But He has appeared once for all at the culmination of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of Himself.       (V26)

 

JESUS CHRIST, the High Priest of the New Covenant, the ONCE for ALL sacrifice, returned to Heaven and into the REAL TRUE TABERNACLE, not a copy that was made by man, but the TRUE ONE.  He entered not only as our HIGH PRIEST, but also as our LAWYER, and more importantly, He entered as our ONE and ONLY SACRIFICE.  He was our ADVOCATE, FOREVER INTERCEDING for His TRUE Children, before the Almighty God,

 

In the Old Testament era, the High Priest, had to enter the man-made tabernacle, and that only ONCE a year, and NEVER without a BLOOD sacrifice, which he offered for himself and for the people.  The problem with this sacrifice, was that it was TEMPORARY, it could NOT TAKE AWAY the sins, but ONLY COVER the sins.  However the BLOOD of Jesus takes away ALL our sins, as far as the EAST is from the WEST, NEVER to be brought up again.  They are GONE FOREVER!  PAST, PRESENT and FUTURE, ALL of our SINS. 

 

Jesus Christ, would NOT have to offer Himself, AGAIN, and AGAIN, ONCE a YEAR, with blood that was NOT His own, like the High Priests of the Old Testament times.  If He did have to do what the other High Priests did, He would have had to SUFFER many times.  But because of the ULTIMATE SACRIFICE of shedding His OWN BLOOD, It is a ONCE and for ALL, sacrifice.

 

And those who are drawn to Him, and will ACCEPT HIM as their SAVIOR, REDEEMER and LORD, will have ALL, PAST, PRESENT, and FUTURE sins FORGIVEN.  The Bible tells us that those WHO CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED!!  In order to become a TRUE CHILD of the LIVING GOD, and to have a RIGHT RELATIONSHIP with Him, and to AVOID an ETERNITY in Hell, with ALL its HORRORS, you MUST TURN AWAY FROM your sinful lifestyle, and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  You MUST CONFESS your sins to Him, and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, that Jesus died for YOU, and is ALIVE in HEAVEN, making intercession for you, before God.  Then you MUST ACCEPT His gift of SALVATION, and ALLOW HIM to take away ALL your sins, ONCE and for ALL.  Do it NOW while you still can.  He’s waiting and coming SOON!!!
