As if sin has never existed

Jesus Christ came to earth to do God's will.

"By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all" (Hebrews 10:10).

The "will" that this scripture refers to, is the will of God. Jesus came to earth to do God's will and it was God's will that we should be sanctified through the offering of Jesus Christ. One offer was enough.


The offerings that were described in the law, could not make people perfect. They had to be repeated and repeated, and that way they were also a reminder of sins every time.


God's will that Jesus came to do, was to make a new covenant with us. He wanted to put His laws into our hearts and in our minds  -  not on stones (ref the ten commandments). Even more remarkable is it that God by this new covenant would no more remember our sins!


By believing that Jesus Christ died on the cross and that God raised Him from the dead, we are sanctified. What are the implications of being sanctified? One is that we are made perfect forever. No more offering is necessary, because we are already made perfect forever. The other is that God no more remembers our sins. Because of Jesus Christ, we can stand in front of God as if sin has never existed!
