Hebrews 10 shows that Jesus Christ offered the perfect and final sacrifice for our sins, so that we can approach God with confidence. It starts: "The law is only a shadow of the good things to come... and it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sin... so when Christ came he came to do God's will... because burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not desire... but we have been made holy through the sacrifice of Christ once for all... because by one sacrifice he has made perfect for ever those who are being made holy... for God says I will put my laws in their hearts and I will write them in their minds... therefore we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus... by a new and living way... so let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith... hold unswervingly to hope because he who promised is faithful... let's spur one another on to love and good deeds... don't give up meeting together as some have done... but encourage one another... and don't keep sinning after getting saved... because you will be judged... for the Lord will then judge his people... and it's a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God... so remember when you first came to faith and all the persecution you faced... so don't throw away your confidence... but persevere... for He who is coming will not delay... and the righteous will live by faith... and we will not shrink back and be destroyed... because we believe and are saved".
