Hebrews 10:14
Hebrews 10:14
For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
Through the ultimate sacrifice of Christ, we have been perfected forever. His offering was sufficient to cover our sins and sanctify us, making us blameless in the eyes of God. This perfection is not something we can achieve on our own but is a gift from God through Christ’s sacrifice. Sanctification is a process, but Christ's offering has made it possible for us to stand before God as perfect in Him. This verse reminds us that our standing before God is not based on our own works but on the completed work of Christ on the cross. Worship becomes an act of gratitude, where we acknowledge the perfection Christ has secured for us through His sacrifice. As we grow in faith, we become more like Christ, but we do so with the assurance that His perfect sacrifice has already made us whole.
Matthew 5:48
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
1 Thessalonians 5:23
And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Job 8:20
Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will he help the evil doers.
Hebrews 11:40
God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.
