For by one offering He has perfected those who are being Sanctified

Heb 10:12-14 "But this man, after He offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God, from that time waiting till His enemies are made His footstool. For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified."

I wanted to continue my thoughts on "offerings" and the scriptures above tell of the offering of Jesus that all the offerings of the Old Testament pointed too. I want to write down some other scriptures concerning Jesus offering.

Heb 9:14 - "How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God."

Heb 9:26b - "He has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself"

Heb 9:28 - So Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him, He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation."

Heb 10:10 - "By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all."

The wages or penalty for our sin is death. Jesus paid our sin debt by offering Himself to God for us. He bore or carried our sins on His body when He offered Himself to God as the perfect Lamb. He was offered once and now no other offering for sin is necessary or acceptable. He has made a way for those who come to Him to be free of the guilt, power and stain of The Sin Nature and the sins that come as a result of being controlled by the Sin Nature. He has perfected or made a way for perfection for all those who come to Him. Perfection is completeness and wholeness. Through His offering we have the means by which to be made complete and whole. The process by which we come to the realization of this wholeness is the through the process of sanctification. The offering of Jesus didn't just stop after His death but was completed when by the power of the Holy Spirit He rose from the dead. That same Spirit that rose Jesus from the dead broke the power and chains of death and He will come and live inside of you and break every chain and power that sin had over your life. We know that His offering was the was for perfection because He rose from the dead. Sins power was broken too all who come to Him by faith. Sanctification is the work of the Spirit in your life as He sets you apart daily. He will set you apart and make you His vessel of honor so that you will be a light to all who sit in darkness. May you be found in Christ today and may we become complete through His offering!!!!! Sin has no power of the Chrild of God because of the offering of Christ!!!!
