Christ’s Death Fulfills God’s Will(B)

Therefore, when He came into the world, He said:

(C)“Sacrifice and offering You did not desire,
But a body You have prepared for Me.
In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin
You had no pleasure.
Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come—
In the volume of the book it is written of Me—
To do Your will, O God.’ ”

Previously saying, “Sacrifice and offering, burnt offerings, and offerings for sin You did not desire, nor had pleasure in them” (which are offered according to the law), then He said, “Behold, I have come to do Your will, [a]O God.” He takes away the first that He may establish the second. 10 (D)By that will we have been [b]sanctified (E)through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

Christ’s Death Perfects the Sanctified

11 And every priest stands (F)ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 12 (G)But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down (H)at the right hand of God, 13 from that time waiting (I)till His enemies are made His footstool. 14 For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being [c]sanctified.

15 But the Holy Spirit also witnesses to us; for after He had said before,

16 (J)“This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them,” 17 then He adds, (K)“Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.” 18 Now where there is [d]remission of these, there is no longer an offering for sin.

Hold Fast Your Confession

19 Therefore, brethren, having (L)boldness[e] to enter (M)the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and (N)living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, 21 and having a High Priest over the house of God, 22 let us (O)draw near with a true heart (P)in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

The Mediator’s Death Necessary

16 For where there is a testament, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. 17 For (C)a testament is in force after men are dead, since it has no power at all while the testator lives. 18 (D)Therefore not even the first covenant was dedicated without blood. 19 For when Moses had spoken every [a]precept to all the people according to the law, (E)he took the blood of calves and goats, (F)with water, scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, 20 saying, (G)“This is the (H)blood of the covenant which God has commanded you.”

God’s Infallible Purpose in Christ

13 For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, (A)He swore by Himself, 14 saying, (B)“Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.” 15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the (C)promise. 16 For men indeed swear by the greater, and (D)an oath for confirmation is for them an end of all dispute. 17 Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to (E)the heirs of promise (F)the [a]immutability of His counsel, [b]confirmed it by an oath, 18 that by two [c]immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to (G)lie, we [d]might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope (H)set before us.
