Study Notes

Christ's Sacrifice: Once and for All

Law's limitations: The law is a shadow of the future, repeating sacrifices cannot make people perfect. Annual sacrifices only remind of sins. Animal blood cannot atone for sin.
Christ's fulfillment: Christ fulfills God's will by sacrifice of a body—not animal sacrifices. This one sacrifice makes believers perfect.
Superiority of Christ's sacrifice: Priests offered sacrifices repeatedly; Christ made one definitive sacrifice, sitting at God's right hand. His sacrifice is sufficient, rendering further sacrifices unnecessary.
Covenant renewal: God promises to put His laws in believers' hearts and minds and not remember their sins.

Perseverance in Faith

Importance of faith: Believers have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place through Christ's body. This new path is opened by His sacrifice.
Spiritual cleansing: Believers are cleansed by the blood of Jesus–purifying the conscience and bodies with pure water.
Dangers of apostasy: Deliberately repeating sin after receiving truth is perilous; it excludes from future atonement.
Necessity of perseverance: Perseverance, facing adversity, will receive rich reward. Believers are called to remain steadfast in faith.
Warnings and hope: Those who shrink back are lost; believers persevere in faith and are saved. God's return is imminent.
