No Offering for Sin with Remission Hebrews 10:18

God promised, according to the writer of Hebrews, that He would “remember” “sins and iniquities” “no more” after the “new covenant” was introduced. This was after Jesus sacrificed Himself as an offering for our sins upon the cross, and in chapter ten and verse eighteen of Hebrews the writer shared “where remission” exists “there is no more offering for sin” where we read:

Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

The verse begins, “Now where remission of these is,...”. The writer began with the word, “Now” which means “also and moreover” “where remission” or “whereas or whichever place forgiveness, deliverance and liberty” “of these is” which refers to “the violations of the laws of God”. The writer notes the presence of the “forgiveness and liberty” from violating God's “laws”.

The verse continues, “...there is no more offering for sin.”. The writer added the words, “there is no more” or “there is no longer and further” “offering” which means “a bringing to, a gift, present and sacrifice” “for sin” or “on account of and on behalf of errors, missing of the marks or mistakes”. When “remission” came, there was no longer a need to bring “offerings” for sinful behavior, attitudes and actions.

When we think through these words in Hebrews, we see the significance of the “remission” or “forgiveness” of “sins”. Jesus Christ “offered” Himself as the perfect sacrificed for our “sins”, and there is no longer a need to continue “offering” imperfect animal sacrifices to cover them. Jesus Christ desires a relationship with every person, and He has simplified the process immensely. Let all who read these words realize and understand the importance of Jesus' “sacrifice” and the value of Him “remitting” our “sins”.

Next time the writer shares about “having boldness to enter into the holiest by Jesus Christ”, so read ahead, and we shall join together then.

Until tomorrow…there is more…
