Once

 For such a high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people’s: for this he did once, when he offered up himself. - Hebrews 7:26-27

 

We have a high priest who is

 

Holy

Harmless

Undefiled

Separate from sinners

Higher than the heavens

Who does not need to daily offer up sacrifices for His own

Does not need to daily offer up sacrifices for our sins

But who did it once

 

Once! And it was done forever

 

Religion tells us that we have to keep doing and doing and doing. It tells that if we don’t keep doing we can never be really sure of our salvation.

 

But for the believer it was sorted once and for all on the cross. It is finished. There is nothing more that we can do. When we ‘do' now it is because of what He did, once, forever and for always.

 

Thank you Lord for a once for always salvation.
