By One Offering
“By one offering, Christ hath perfected forever them who are sanctified.”
(Hebrews 10:14)
In what sense has Christ perfected them forever? My dear reader, it is for want of Faith in this that we feel so much distress in our consciences, so little love to Christ in our hearts and enjoy no more peace with God in our souls. Sin causes all this. But Christ has perfected us forever. That is, He has taken away all our sins, fully and finally from before God. He has so perfectly freed us from all the charges of law and justice that there is now NOT ONE CONDEMNATION against us, no more than if we had never sinned.
How has Christ done this? “By one Offering.” Oh, the love of Christ for sinners who deserved it not. Oh, the willingness of Christ in it! He gave Himself for our sins (Galatians 4:4). Oh the pains and agonies He endured for our salvation and the glorious efficacy of His offering upon the cross! He made thereby ONE oblation of Himself ONCE offered, a full, perfect and sufficient sacrifice, oblation and satisfaction for our sins.
