Hebrews
10:14 WEL For by one sacrifice, he has perfected forever those who
are being sanctified.
Hebrews
B1
Was written by an unknown author, but the Holy Spirit is the
originator.
B2
Was written to show the greatness of Jesus Christ.
C1
He is greater than the angels. He is the Son of God.
C2
He is greater than the words of man and angels. He is the Word of
God.
C3
He, who is greater than all of creation, was found in the fashion,
that is, flesh of a human.
C4
He, who created all, is the Messiah, the Savior, the Author of
Salvation.
C5
He is greater than Moses. Moses spoke and wrote about Him.
C6
He is the Prince of Peace. He gives peace with God to those who obey
in faith. He gives no peace to those who disobey, those who do not
believe.
C7
He is the High Priest of all High Priests. He is greater than all.
C8
He was appointed and anointed High Priest by God Himself, because of
His greatness.
C9
His work as High Priest is greater, more glorious, and final.
C10
He is greater than us and has warned us not to deconvert, to stop
believing, or to disobey Him. He gives grace every day, so that we do
not. But, if we reject Him and stop believing, there is a final
rejection where it becomes too impossible for us to repent.
C11
He gives greater help and assistance than any other priest.
C12
He is a priest in the order of Melchizedek who was greater than
Abraham.
C13
He is even greater than Melchizedek.
C14
His priesthood never ends.
C15
His covenant, His agreement with us, never fails. It never ends.
C16
He is so great, because He never sinned in thoughts, desires, words,
or deeds.
C17
He is priest in a greater Temple. The Temple written about here is
the true Temple in Heaven.
C18
He details this greatest of all Covenants.
C19
He is greater than all sacrifices. His blood is sinless and holy.
C20
His sacrificial gift in the Temple of Heaven at that holy altar is
more perfect and holy than any gift ever offered.
C21
All sacrifices on earth need to be offered daily. His sacrificial
offering is greater than any of these, for it was given one time. It
does not need to be offered ever again.
C22
His faith is greater than all the heroes of faith (Hebrews 11).
C23
His life is greater than any life. He overcame everything. He is
greater than anyone and so He is able to help us every day.
C24
He gives strength to finish our life faithfully.
C25
He has a kingdom that cannot be shaken, overpowered, or conquered.
C26
He decrees those who believe to also be under-priests. Both sisters
and brothers can offer the sacrifices of praise and giving.
C27
He promises to never abandon us.
B3
It is in this context our passage is written.
C1
Hebrews 10:14 WEL For by one sacrifice, he has perfected forever
those who are being sanctified.
C2
A sacrifice
D1
Given, that is offered, only one time. It was the perfect, satisfying
sacrifice. The Lord Jesus suffered for our sins, carried our sins,
was punished for our sins, abandoned by His Father for our sins, and
died for our sins. One offering. One sacrifice. One burial. One
resurrection. All for us. Any can believe, for the Holy Spirit
awakens our heart, opens our eyes, gives understanding to our minds
of our sinful condition, the sentence for our sin, and the
helplessness of our life and effort.
D2
One time only, for it was the greatest of all offerings, of all
sacrifices. 1 Peter 3:18 NKJV For
Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He
might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive
by the Spirit.
C3
A perfecting
D1
The Greek word is τελειόω teleióō.
E1
It means here to bring to a goal, to finish what was needed. It is
complete.
E2
We lack the character that God requires for any to enter heaven.
E3
Jesus Christ’s work as High Priest and Passover Lamb has brought to
every human that hope of forgiveness, fellowship, and an eternal home
in heaven—if we believe His plan and place our trust into Jesus
Christ.
E4
Jesus’s complete work also gives us a perfect hope in this life.
His promise is sure.
D2
An acceptable sacrifice: Ephesians 5:2 NKJV And
walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us,
an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.
D3
A sacrifice to reconcile humans and God: Romans 5:10 WEL For
if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by his Son's
death, much more, having been reconciled, we will be saved by his
life.
D4
All sins atoned for. All sins forgiven and fellowship restored: 1
John 1:7 MKJV But
if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship
with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us
from all sin.
Note:
Q:
Why were we created? A:
We were created for fellowship with God and to serve Him forever
(John 12:26, etc.).
D5
All sins are forgiven in such a complete manner that we are
considered without sin in His sight. This is because of the sacrifice
of Jesus Christ. Romans 5:9 MKJV Much
more then, being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved from
wrath through Him.
D6
We are perfected to serve Him: Titus 2:14 GNB He
gave himself for us, to rescue us from all wickedness and to make us
a pure people who belong to him alone and are eager to do good.
D7
This perfecting is a one time event. It was after the fact of sins
for the believers living before Messiah came, and before the fact of
our sins who live after He came. It is forever!
C3
A work in our lives who are being sanctified
D1
We have been sanctified. This is justification. This is a one time
full and complete sanctification whereby we are considered sinless
because of His sacrifice. We have been saved.
D2
We are being sanctified. This is progressive sanctification. Our life
here, however, is a period of learning, testing, learning, and
testing. God teaches, we learn. God tests, we learn. This is what is
termed progressive sanctification. So, this passage states,
“...those,
who are being sanctified.”
We are learn to live and think in God’s ways. We are being saved.
D3
We will be sanctified. This is also another one time full and
complete sanctification for us at death. We will never sin again.
Romans 6:7 NRSV For
whoever has died is freed from sin.
We will be saved.
