Hebrews 10:7

Hebrews 10:7 says, Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.  The coming of Christ was not some new concept but had been foretold since the fall of Adam and Eve.  Christ came as a man to do God's will and to fulfill the law given to Moses.  Verse eight adds, Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;  The law of God and the offerings and sacrifices of His people never brought God pleasure, because they were never able to restore people to God.  God set the standard, which was total obedience, and no one except Jesus Christ ever lived up to that standard.  Verse nine continues, Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.  Christ came to do God's will and live in total obedience to God's law.  Christ proved that it was possible for a person to live up to the requirements of the law of God, but no one else, before or since, ever has.  Christ fulfilled the old covenant and issued in the new covenant.  Verse ten states, By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.  We can only be sanctified, or made right in the eyes of God, through Christ and His sacrifice.  Christ died once, and His death was for the salvation of all who will accept His sacrifice through faith.  We do not have to offer a daily or weekly or yearly sacrifice for our sins.  Christ is the only acceptable sacrifice.  Verse eleven adds, And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:  We could stand daily offering sacrifices as could the priests, but they can never take away our sins.  Only a personal relationship with Christ can do that.  Verse twelve continues, But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;  Christ completed His redemptive work once and for all, and is now seated at the right hand of God until it is time for Him to return and claim His church, those who accept Him as Savior and Lord.  Verse thirteen says, From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.  When Christ returns, He will not come as a suffering Servant, but as a victorious King.  The enemies of God will be made Christ's footstool.  Verse fourteen adds, For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.  By the one offering, Christ crucified on the cross, we who accept Him as Savior and Lord, are made perfect.  Verse fifteen continues, Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,  As followers of Christ, we have the Holy Spirit living in us, showing us the truth of God's word.  Verse sixteen states, This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;  The Holy Spirit bears witness to this new covenant made through the death and resurrection of Christ.  Once we have accepted Christ as Savior and Lord we are never spiritually on our own.  The Holy Spirit does not come and go in our lives but is with us every second of the day.  Verse seventeen adds, And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.  Because of the sacrifice of Christ, and a person's acceptance of that sacrifice, God will no longer remember that person's sins and inequities.  The slate is wiped clean.  Verse eighteen continues, Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.  The reason we don't need daily, or yearly sacrifices is because Christ died once for all sins.  This does not mean that we, as followers of Christ, do not need to confess our sins if we commit them after accepting Christ, but it means that we do not have to be saved again.
