Hebrews 10

Hebrews 10:10, 14 ESV

And by that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified.

For believers, the motivation to holiness is the truth that we are holy. There is no ongoing sacrifice for sin because there is no need for an ongoing sacrifice once covered by the blood of Jesus. The life of the believer is not one of believing, falling away, repentance and sacrifice, then believing again.

Hebrews 10:14 ESV

For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified.

Because of Jesus we have full access to the Father. Because of Jesus we have been made holy and are being made holy. Because of Jesus we live in full assurance of God's acceptance and empowering. His motivation for holiness is not fear, but the reality that we are holy. Therefore, let us rest in him and move on toward holiness.

Father, thank you for the full assurance of faith we have in Christ. May we never take that for granted nor trample it under foot in disbelief. In you we rest.

By His grace,
Rick Weinert
