Hebrews 9:14-27. New International Reader's Version. 14 But Christ offered himself to God without any flaw. He did this through the power of the eternal Holy Spirit. So how much cleaner will the blood of Christ make us! It washes away our feelings of guilt for committing sin. Sin always leads to death.
Sanctification (or holiness) is ours by virtue of the perfect life which Jesus Christ offered to God on the cross. 2 Jesus was punished for Our Sins. Jesus was punished instead of us because our own punishment would have to be everlasting. God's severity (Romans 11:22) demands not only perfection. God also demands extreme punishment for every ...
Jan 4, 2022 · In contrast, Jesus was “perfect,” as He had no sin and therefore no personal need for sacrifices, and the sacrifice He offered was offered only once on the cross. With that once-for-all sacrifice, Jesus paid for the sin of all humanity. As John puts it, Jesus is the propitiation (or satisfaction) for the sins of the whole world (1 John 2:2 ...
Background Info. As other answers here show, to even begin to answer this from Scripture, one has to piece together other Scriptures, as the wording of Heb 9:12 is not distinct enough by grammar alone to know whether "διὰ δὲ τοῦ ἰδίου αἵματος" ("but by his own blood") implies in the exact same way as the picture of the OT sacrifices implies, where the priest did enter ...

The epistle to the Hebrews was written to Christians living in a tense time. They had already suffered for their faith (10:32–34), and more suffering seemed likely. The recipients of this letter were likely wondering, “Is it worth it to be a Christian?”1They needed reminding of what was already theirs in Christ, what God promises to those who perse...
Many evangelical interpreters of Hebrews, whether scholars, pastors, or laypeople, understand Hebrews to teach that Jesus’s offering of himself began and ended with his death on the cross.2 In contrast, I will argue, in four brief steps, that Jesus offered himself to God upon his bodily, post-resurrection entrance to God’s dwelling in heaven.3
One passage in Hebrews explicitly asserts that Christ intercedes for his people, and two more prepare a thematic context for it. We can identify two aspects to Christ’s intercession: pleading for our help, and pleading for our forgiveness.8 First, Christ intercedes for our help. Hebrews 2:18 asserts that Christ is able to help those who are being t...
How do Christ’s completed offering and ongoing intercession encourage us to draw near to God? How do they together provide the help we need in our tense time in between? Consider four practical encouragements. First, Christ’s offering and intercession assure us of welcome in heaven, now and forever. That is the conclusion the author of Hebrews hims...
11 Jesus the Mediator has taken God the Father in one hand, and us human beings in the other hand, and drawn us together in him, in Christ. He is the one who removed -- by means of his own sacrifice for our sins -- what had kept us and God apart: sin. Now the Mediator has brought God and us together. Hallelujah!

Disciples’ Literal New Testament. He Offered Himself Once For All As a Sacrifice To Set Aside Sin. 25 Nor did He enter in order that He might offer Himself often— as indeed the high priest enters into the Holies yearly with the blood belonging-to-another— 26 otherwise He would had-to-have suffered often since the foundation of the world.
