The New Testament states this about the New Covenant: “[I]t is by God’s will that we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. For by a single offering he has perfected for all time [forever] those who are sanctified.” (Heb. 10:10, 14)
“Sanctified” means, “to make holy, to set in a state opposed to unclean; to deliver from that state, and to put into a state corresponding to the nature of God.”1
“Perfected” means, “to complete, make perfect, so as to be full, wanting in nothing, to bring to a full end, consummate.”2
“For all time” means, “uninterrupted continuance.”3
“For all time” is also translated, “forever.”
God is telling us this: It is by His will that we are made holy, put into a state corresponding to His nature, and made complete—perfect—and that state will continue without interruption ever more—all accomplished by the one-time sacrifice of His Son, for all.
Now, consider our Lord’s words at the Last Supper:
Then he took a loaf of bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” And he did the same with the cup after supper, saying, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood. (Luke 22:19, 20)
“This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.”
What do we think when we hear these words?
Yes, we bend our knee to Christ’s sacrifice unto death. Now, what does Scripture say that sacrifice means to us?
“[I]t is by God’s will that we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. For by a single offering he has perfected for all time [forever] those who are sanctified.” (Heb. 10:10, 14)
God, the righteous judge, declares in His court of Law us to be justified and sanctified, made righteous, because the righteousness of Jesus Christ is legally transferred to us and our sin is transferred to the Cross by our embrace of Jesus as the following: the perfect sacrifice for sin, Lord in our life, the Son of God, and the belief that God raised Him from the dead. In the transfer of Christ’s righteousness to us, so is the faith of Christ transferred to us (Rom. 12:3), so is holiness transferred to us, and so is Christ’s divine perfection transferred to us, forever.
As Christ is perfect forever, so are we by the Holy Spirit within. That Holy Spirit within is “Christ in you” (Col. 1:27). Thus, when God sees us, He sees “Christ in you”: righteousness, faith, and perfection. That’s the New Covenant.
This article will focus on the grace and mercy God brought forth in all its glory in the New Covenant. Jesus brought the New Covenant, and for those who believe, God brings forth His grace and mercy—and He reveals who we are in Christ and what we have in Christ:
*Born of God
*Sons of God
*Heirs of God
*Household of God
*Kingdom of God
*Righteousness of God
*Shielded by God
*Justified by God
*Sanctified by God
*Perfected Forever by God
*Cleansed of Sin by God
*Eternal Salvation by God
*Eternal Redemption by God
*Eternal Inheritance from God
*Citizens of Heaven thanks to God
*Treasures in Heaven thanks to God
*The Hope of Glory thanks to God
*Born of God
Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God. For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? (1 John 5:1, 4, 5)
*Sons of God
[T]hey shall be called sons of the living God. (Rom. 9:26)
For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. (Gal. 3:26)
Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. (1 John 3:1, 2)
*Heirs of God
For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received a spirit of adoption. When we cry, “Abba! Father!” it is that very Spirit bearing witness[ with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ—if, in fact, we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him. (Rom. 8:14-17)
*Household of God
Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God. (Eph. 1:19)
*Kingdom of God
[G]iving thanks to the Father, who has enabled you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the light. He has rescued us from the power of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. (Col. 1:12-14)
*Righteousness of God
And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith. (Phil. 3:9)
For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. (2 Cor. 5:21)
*Shielded by God
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. (1 Peter 1:3-5)
*Justified by God
[W]hen the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. (Titus 3:4-7)
“Justified” means: “to set forth as righteous, to justify by a judicial act. By a judicial decision to free a man from his guilt (which stands in the way of his being right) and to represent him as righteous.”4
*Sanctified by God
[Y]ou were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God. (1 Cor. 6:11)
*Perfected Forever by God
By this will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. For by one offering He hath perfected for ever those who are sanctified. (Heb. 10:10, 14)
*Cleansed of Sin by God
Of this the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us; for after He had said before, “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.” (Heb. 10:14-17)
“[W]hen He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high” (Heb. 1:3)
*Eternal Salvation by God
He learned obedience by the things which He suffered. And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him. (Heb. 5:8, 9)
*Eternal Redemption by God
But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. (Heb. 9:11, 12)
“Redemption” means “the act of freeing or releasing, deliverance; redemption for one from guilt and punishment.”5
*Eternal Inheritance from God
How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance—now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant. (Heb. 9:14, 15)
[H]aving believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory. (Eph. 1:13, 14)
*Citizens of Heaven thanks to God
[O]ur citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself. (Phil. 3:20, 21)
*Treasures in Heaven thanks to God
[S]tore up for yourselves treasures in heaven. (Matt. 6:20)
And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last. (Rev. 22:12, 13)
*The Hope of Glory thanks to God
To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. (Col. 1:27)
The New Covenant: Ever More
If God declares redemption is eternal, then it cannot be temporal, nor can it be conditional. In other words, redemption cannot be lost.
If God declares our inheritance is eternal, then it cannot be temporal, nor can it be conditional. In other words, the inheritance cannot be lost.
If God declares we are perfected forever, then perfection cannot be temporal, nor can it be conditional. In other words, perfection cannot be lost.
If God declares salvation is eternal, then it cannot be temporal, nor can it be conditional. In other words, salvation cannot be lost.
Regarding eternal salvation, Hebrews states this: “And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him” (Heb. 5:9).
What does it mean to “obey Him”?
What is the context?
This is what we learn: to obey is “to believe,” and to not obey is “unbelief.”
In Chapter 3 of Hebrews, the context is speaking of those Israelites who would not enter into God’s rest because they did not obey; they had unbelief in their hearts.
And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey? So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief. (Heb. 3:18, 19)
Thus, not to obey is synonymous with “unbelief.” Chapter 4 expounds on this by speaking of God’s Word and faith:
[T]he gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it. For we who have believed do enter that rest. (Heb. 4:2, 3)
Those who did not obey did not enter God’s rest as they were in a state of “unbelief”—not mixing faith with what they heard. Thus, the opposite, is to obey, which is to “believe”—mixing faith with God’s Word. Thus, by belief, we obey and we enter into God’s rest—receiving eternal salvation, redemption, and the inheritance. This is in complete agreement with the revelation Christ gave to Paul: “having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance” (Eph. 1:13, 14).
Regarding belief, listen to Christ’s response:
Then they said to Him, “What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” (John 6:28, 29)
“[T]he work of God [is], that you believe in Him whom He sent.”
The New Covenant is ours to receive, understand, and glory in, everyday. Among other writers, the apostle Paul and the author of Hebrews expounded upon the details of what our New Covenant means to us.
Ephesians 1
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God,
To the saints who are in Ephesus, and faithful in Christ Jesus: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved. In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself, that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth—in Him. In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory. In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory. (Eph. 1:1-14)
Purchased Possession
For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many. (Mark 10:45)
[D]o you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s. (1 Cor. 6:19, 20)
God purchased us with the blood of His Son and God has a no return policy!
Ephesians 2
And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others. But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh—who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands—that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity. And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near. For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.
Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit. (Eph. 2:1-22)
Romans 5
Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.
Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned—(For until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned according to the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come. But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the one man’s offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many. And the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned. For the judgment which came from one offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift which came from many offenses resulted in justification. For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)
Therefore, as through one man’s offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man’s righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life. For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.
Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more, so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Rom. 5:1-21)
Acts 13
Then Paul and his companions set sail from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia. John, however, left them and returned to Jerusalem; but they went on from Perga and came to Antioch in Pisidia. And on the sabbath day they went into the synagogue and sat down. After the reading of the law and the prophets, the officials of the synagogue sent them a message, saying, “Brothers, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, give it.” So Paul stood up and with a gesture began to speak:
“You Israelites, and others who fear God, listen.”
“My brothers, you descendants of Abraham’s family, and others who fear God, to us the message of this salvation has been sent. Because the residents of Jerusalem and their leaders did not recognize him or understand the words of the prophets that are read every sabbath, they fulfilled those words by condemning him. Even though they found no cause for a sentence of death, they asked Pilate to have him killed. When they had carried out everything that was written about him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb. But God raised him from the dead; and for many days he appeared to those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, and they are now his witnesses to the people. And we bring you the good news that what God promised to our ancestors he has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising Jesus; as also it is written in the second psalm,
‘You are my Son;
today I have begotten you.’
As to his raising him from the dead, no more to return to corruption, he has spoken in this way,
‘I will give you the holy promises made to David.’
Therefore he has also said in another psalm,
‘You will not let your Holy One experience corruption.’
For David, after he had served the purpose of God in his own generation, died, was laid beside his ancestors, and experienced corruption; but he whom God raised up experienced no corruption. Let it be known to you therefore, my brothers, that through this man forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you; by this Jesus everyone who believes is set free from all those sins from which you could not be freed by the law of Moses. (Acts 13:13-16, 26-39)
Hebrews 1
God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. (Heb. 1:1-4)
The writer of Hebrews began the letter with how God spoke to His people by the prophets (during the Old Covenant) but now spoke by His Son, who purged our sins, and then sat down on the right hand of God. In essence, the one-time sacrifice yielded a purging of sins for those who believe.
Redemption was obtained—past tense—with Jesus’ sacrifice on the Cross. Our eternal verdict is eternal redemption: Not Guilty! This is what the writer of Hebrews sought to communicate to his audience.
Through our great high priest, we have received eternal salvation, eternal redemption, and this means we have received an eternal inheritance.
Hebrews 5
So also Christ did not glorify Himself to become High Priest, but it was He who said to Him:
“You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You.”
As He also says in another place:
“You are a priest forever
According to the order of Melchizedek”;
who, in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications, with vehement cries and tears to Him who was able to save Him from death, and was heard because of His godly fear, though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered. And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him. (Heb. 5:5-9)
Hebrews 8
Now the main point in what we are saying is this: we have such a high priest, one who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, a minister in the sanctuary and the true tent that the Lord, and not any mortal, has set up. Jesus has now obtained a more excellent ministry, and to that degree he is the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted through better promises. For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no need to look for a second one.
God finds fault with them when he says:
“The days are surely coming, says the Lord,
when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel
and with the house of Judah;
not like the covenant that I made with their ancestors,
on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt;
for they did not continue in my covenant,
and so I had no concern for them, says the Lord.
This is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel
after those days, says the Lord:
I will put my laws in their minds,
and write them on their hearts,
and I will be their God,
and they shall be my people.
And they shall not teach one another
or say to each other, ‘Know the Lord,’
for they shall all know me,
from the least of them to the greatest.
For I will be merciful toward their iniquities,
and I will remember their sins no more.”
In speaking of “a new covenant,” he has made the first one obsolete. And what is obsolete and growing old will soon disappear. (Heb. 8:1, 2, 6-13)
Hebrews 9
But when Christ came as a high priest of the good things that have come, then through the greater and perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation), he entered once for all into the Holy Place, not with the blood of goats and calves, but with his own blood, thus obtaining eternal redemption. For if the blood of goats and bulls, with the sprinkling of the ashes of a heifer, sanctifies those who have been defiled so that their flesh is purified, how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to worship the living God! For this reason he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, because a death has occurred that redeems them from the transgressions under the first covenant.
Christ did not enter a sanctuary made by human hands, a mere copy of the true one, but he entered into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf. Nor was it to offer himself again and again, as the high priest enters the Holy Place year after year with blood that is not his own; for then he would have had to suffer again and again since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the age to remove sin by the sacrifice of himself. And just as it is appointed for mortals to die once, and after that the judgment, so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin, but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him. (Heb. 9:11-15, 25-28)
Hebrews 10
Since the law has only a shadow of the good things to come and not the true form of these realities, it can never, by the same sacrifices that are continually offered year after year, make perfect those who approach. Otherwise, would they not have ceased being offered, since the worshipers, cleansed once for all, would no longer have any consciousness of sin? But in these sacrifices there is a reminder of sin year after year. For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. Consequently, when Christ came into the world, he said,
“Sacrifices and offerings you have not desired,
but a body you have prepared for me;
in burnt offerings and sin offerings
you have taken no pleasure.
Then I said, ‘See, God, I have come to do your will, O God’
(in the scroll of the book it is written of me).”
When he said above, “You have neither desired nor taken pleasure in sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings” (these are offered according to the law), then he added, “See, I have come to do your will.” He abolishes the first in order to establish the second. And it is by God’s will that we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
And every priest stands day after day at his service, offering again and again the same sacrifices that can never take away sins. But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, “he sat down at the right hand of God,” and since then has been waiting “until his enemies would be made a footstool for his feet.” For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are sanctified. And the Holy Spirit also testifies to us, for after saying,
“This is the covenant that I will make with them
after those days, says the Lord:
I will put my laws in their hearts,
and I will write them on their minds,”
he also adds,
“I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more.” (Heb. 10:1-17)
Christ, the Anointed One of God, fulfilled the Law on our behalf. By His sacrificial death, He ended the Law’s sacrifices and handed us a new covenant, a new agreement between God and man, whereby we would be made righteous by the blood of Christ. Although the Old Testament Law was perfect in its standard, it was opposed to man because it could not change the sin nature that Adam passed on to us. No one could fulfill the perfect Law because man is imperfect. This is why the Israelites of the OT sacrificed animals—to cover their sins. Sin consciousness remained. In contrast, Jesus Christ purged our sins, and we are now Christ conscious.
For those who believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah, the Anointed One of God, the living word of the living God in the flesh, God brings forth His grace and mercy, and He reveals who we are in Christ and what we have in Christ:
*Born of God
*Sons of God
*Heirs of God
*Household of God
*Kingdom of God
*Righteousness of God
*Shielded by God
*Justified by God
*Sanctified by God
*Perfected Forever by God
*Cleansed of Sin by God
*Eternal Salvation by God
*Eternal Redemption by God
*Eternal Inheritance from God
*Citizens of Heaven thanks to God
*Treasures in Heaven thanks to God
*The Hope of Glory thanks to God
Now may the God of peace, who brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, make you complete in everything good so that you may do his will, working among us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen. (Heb. 13:20, 21)
God bless you,
