Hebrews 10:10–20

¹⁰We have been set apart as holy because Jesus Christ did what God wanted him to do by sacrificing his body once and for all. 

¹¹Every day each priest performed his religious duty. He offered the same type of sacrifice again and again. Yet, these sacrifices could never take away sins. ¹²However, this chief priest made one sacrifice for sins, and this sacrifice lasts forever. Now he holds the honored position—the one next to God the Father on the heavenly throne. ¹³Since that time, he has been waiting for his enemies to be made his footstool. ¹⁴With one sacrifice he accomplished the work of setting them apart for God forever. 

¹⁵The Holy Spirit tells us the same thing: ¹⁶“This is the promise^athat I will make to them after those days, says the Lord: ‘I will put my teachings in their hearts and write them in their minds.’ ” 

¹⁷Then he adds, “I will no longer hold their sins and their disobedience against them.” 

¹⁸When sins are forgiven, there is no longer any need to sacrifice for sins. 

¹⁹Brothers and sisters, because of the blood of Jesus we can now confidently go into the holy place. ²⁰Jesus has opened a new and living way for us to go through the curtain. (The curtain is his own body.)
