| Hebrews 10:2: Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, since the worshipers, having once been cleansed, would no longer have any consciousness of sins? | Both passages point to the efficacy of the forgiveness of sins. Hebrews 10:18 states that once sins are forgiven, there is no longer any need for a sacrifice or offering for sin. Hebrews 10:2 further explains that this is because the worshipers, who have been cleansed, no longer have any consciousness of their sins. Thus, the forgiveness of sins renders the sacrificial offerings unnecessary. |

Hebrews 10:18 teaches that because of Jesus' death, there is no longer a need for any other offering for the forgiveness of sins. Hebrews 10:14 explains that Jesus' sacrifice was a single offering that has perfected believers for all time, enabling them to be sanctified. |
Heavenly Father,
We humbly come before You today asking for Your forgiveness. We thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus, to make the ultimate sacrifice for us. We are so grateful that through His one offering, You have perfected us and cleansed us of our sins. Help us to have no consciousness of our sins and to remember the power of Your forgiveness.
We ask this in Jesus' Name, Amen.
