Hebrew 9:16-28
In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. It was necessary, then, for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
But he has appeared once for all at the culmination of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself. Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.
And the very repetition of the sacrifice made its ineffectiveness all too clear. It was also limited. For sin with a high hand or deliberate, premeditated sin, there was no atonement, only punishment.
When Christ came, the whole system was reformed; a new order began. As perfect high priest, he offered himself as the perfect sacrifice - a single voluntary offering, effective for all time, setting people free from the wrongs they have done. And his death brought the terms of his will the new covenant into effect. For he went into heaven itself, to stand on our behalf in the presence of God. SIn has been removed. When he returns it will be to save.
Why?
Jesus Christ did the thing great salvation, which sacrifice himself once for our sins and this salvation is available forever, do not like the Law have to sacrifice each year. This is the salvation to all and forever. For Jesus Christ is a new way of God to give a new way to human beings.
For cleansed sin have to shed blood so Jesus Christ sacrificed himself for us. Without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness.
How?
Realized the grace of God and Jesus Christ shedding of blood for me. What I have to do is obey his word and honor God's Holy Name in my daily life.
