"But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God" (Hebrews 10:12). Jesus Christ was crucified as the one sacrifice for sins forever. He died in the place of every believer, to take away all our sins. He is risen from the dead, and now at the right hand of God to save all who believe the gospel (1 Corinthians 15:1-4).
Christ made one sacrifice for sins forever. He is the only way we are reconciled to God. We have all sinned (Romans 3:23). Only the blood of Jesus can take away all our sins (1 John 1:7). God proved his love for us as sinners at the cross of Jesus (Romans 5:8). Only one sacrifice can forever cleanse us from all sin.
Christ is every believer's one sacrifice for sins forever. Christ died in our place. He took our judgment and punishment. He paid the complete debt of all our sins forever. That is the testimony of every true believer in our Lord Jesus Christ. It's not what we do, but what Christ did for us. Believers receive the one and only sacrifice for their sins in Christ alone.
The Old Testament sacrifices were never complete. They were offered again and again, with endless repetition. They pointed toward the one and only sacrifice that takes away sin. They pointed to Christ as the one sacrifice for sins forever. There is no other name whereby we must be saved (Acts 4:12).
