Christ’s Sacrifice Once for All.
The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming—not the realities themselves. For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship.
It is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
First he said, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not desire, nor were you pleased with them”—though they were offered in accordance with the law. Then he said, “Here I am, I have come to do your will.” He sets aside the first to establish the second. And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
For by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.
This is the covenant I will make with them after that time, says the Lord. I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds.
The writer continues to press home his point that the old repeated sacrifices could only remind people of their sins, not remove them. What the law could not do. Christ has done. His offering is effective forever. No further sacrifice is needed. Sins and misdeeds are not only forgiven but forgotten.
Why?
By the law have to make the sacrifice every year by the priest and it means never erase sins, but reminder the sins. Only Jesus Christ came and made atonement once and erase sins forever.
This is a great idea of the Lord for all of us.
This is written in the Bible and described by the words of the Lord.
God sets aside the first to establish the second, for the first one is not good enough, so Jesus came as a sacrifice forever.

舊約的獻祭只是叫人想起罪，舊約的祭只是天上的影像，不是真的能夠除罪。提醒人是罪人，罪的代價就是死亡流血，不能用任何行為來除罪。耶穌是順服，神不要與人的交易，而是喜悅人的順服。牛羊的祭只是平息神的憤怒，是為神的公義。並非神喜愛祭物。
神喜歡開通我們的耳朵，將律法放在人心裏。開通我們的耳朵本意是七年時間到，奴僕可以得自由，但是因為愛主人而願意繼續在主人家中做僕人，因為主人待他好，甘心樂意。將順服送給神，在肉身和我們一樣，仍然照著神的旨意行，人做不到的耶穌幫我們做到了。
小孩子後懲罰，不是父母的喜悅，孩子聽父母的話才討父母的喜悅。
耶穌一次獻祭，一次獻上，得以成聖。我們不必再控告自己，我們的罪都因信耶穌蒙潔淨。
神的話在我們心裏，就是我們的心裏已經改變，信仰是生命的更新，不是參加聚會、小組、主日...我們生命的本質改變，行出神所喜悅的事。

How?
Trust in Jesus Christ and confess our sins and obey God's word to be a real Christian.
