“ONCE and for ALL”
Then He said, “Here I am, I have come to do Your Will.” He sets aside the first to establish the second. And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the Body of Jesus Christ once for all. Hebrews 10:9-10
If you read the verses prior to the ones that are our focus verses, you will see that this is part of a conversation between the ALMIGHTY GOD and His Son, JESUS CHRIST. Who, came into this world to be the ULTIMATE, SUPREME SACRIFICE for ALL of mankind. Jesus came because God was NOT pleased with the animal sacrifices, they just didn’t seem to have the right connection between GOD and MANKIND. Then, like the Prophet Isaiah, Jesus said: “Here I am, I have come to DO YOUR WILL.
And that WILL, was GOD’S WILL for the SALVATION of ALL mankind, ONCE and for ALL. Jesus does NOT have to DIE daily for the REDEMPTION of mankind, much like the Old Testament sacrifices were done. The SACRIFICE of the LORD JESUS CHRIST, was a ONE-TIME thing that covers ALL SINS, past, present and future. The TRUE BELIEVER, is “SET APART” from sin for GOD, this is a PERMANENT, CONTINUAL SANCTIFICATION. And NOT a PROGRESSIVE SANCTIFICATION used for their DAILY SERVICE by the WILL of GOD.
Mankind has the OPPORTUNITY, NOW, to ESCAPE an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE, after they are there. This is POSSIBLE, because of the REDEEMING, SACRIFICAL DEATH and the RESURRECTION of the LORD JESUS CHRIST. It was carried out ONCE and for ALL. And it is SUFFICIENT to SAVE to the UTMOST. There is NO OTHER WAY to SHUN HELL and GAIN HEAVEN. You MUST COME through the CLEANSING, SHED BLOOD of the RIGHTEOUS SON of the LIVING GOD, and be MADE RIGHTEOUS in His sight, through HIS SACRIFICE for YOUR SALVATION.
In order to experience the above, you MUST be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your sinful lifestyle, and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART. And CONFESS your sins to Him, and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS. Then BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS died for YOU, ONCE and for ALL, and that He is ALIVE in HEAVEN, making intercession for you, before GOD. You MUST ACCEPT His gift of SALVATION, and change your DESTINY from, HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, to HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS. Do this NOW, while you still can. He’s waiting and COMING SOON!!!
