Scripture
We are made holy because Christ obeyed God and offered himself once for all
Observation
The sacrifice of Jesus was powerful because of two things- who He was, and the voluntary nature of His sacrifice. Jesus, the eternal Son of God, took on a human body in order to offer Himself back to the Father.
This one perfect sacrifice superseded the old system of daily sacrifices. What the multitudes of animal sacrifices were unable to do, Jesus did through His one self-sacrifice.
Application
There is nothing that can be added to Jesus' perfect sacrifice. There is nothing that needs to be added.
God counts us as holy- dedicated to Him- because Jesus laid down His life for us.
The only response we can make to that is to follow in His way and present ourselves as “living sacrifices” to God, dedicated to His purposes and living for Him in all we do.
Prayer
Father, you have done it! Thank you for bringing me under the cleansing blood of Jesus. Let me be completely dedicated to you in all I do. Amen.
