Hebrews 10:12
Hebrews 10:12
But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God.
Christ’s one-time sacrifice for sins highlights the completeness and finality of His work. Unlike the repeated sacrifices of the Old Testament, His offering is sufficient for all, a perfect act that covers humanity’s sins forever. This truth provides believers with assurance and peace, knowing that salvation is secured through His finished work. The imagery of Christ seated at God’s right hand signifies His authority and the fulfillment of His mission, calling believers to rest in His accomplishment rather than striving to earn God’s favor. This sacrifice invites believers to live with confidence, assured of their position in Christ. It encourages a response of worship and gratitude, as we acknowledge the immense love that drove Him to the cross. Through this understanding, believers are inspired to live lives of obedience, not to earn salvation, but as a response to the grace they have received. This completed work frees believers from guilt, empowering them to live in the joy of God’s salvation.
Matthew 22:21
And they brought unto him a penny. And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.
Proverbs 21:3
To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.
Mark 10:45
For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
John 15:13
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
