Once for all

"Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once for all when he offered himself." Hebrews 7:27

You can read: Hebrews 7:26-28

Some people have a hard time comprehending that Jesus died once for all. There are still those who believe that they can earn their way into God's presence through repetitive prayers or event through their own merit.

The bible is very clear that the sacrifice Jesus made on the cross is enough for us to be cleansed of all unrighteousness. He was the perfect sacrifice, therefore, there is no more need for any other sacrifices in order to gain God's favor.

As people who have faith in Christ, we can also tell this to others who may still think it needs some effort on their part before God accepts them. We can tell them of the great sacrifice Jesus paid one time upon the cross to set us free and keep us alive.
