The Rescue Mission — Part Two

Hebrews 10:11–18  (ID: 2424)

In the life of the believer, after justification comes sanctification. Once we are declared righteous on account of Jesus’ death, the Holy Spirit begins to work within us to conform our hearts and minds to the will of God. The result, explains Alistair Begg, is a life of growing holiness and devotion. We have a role to play in this process too, though, as we feed on God’s Word, live in fear of Him, and rest in His grace.


11And every priest stands daily at his service, offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 12But when Christ2 had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God, 13waiting from that time until his enemies should be made a footstool for his feet. 14For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified.

15And the Holy Spirit also bears witness to us; for after saying,

16“This is the covenant that I will make with them

after those days, declares the Lord:

I will put my laws on their hearts,

and write them on their minds,”

17then he adds,

“I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more.”

18Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin.
