Remission

Hebrews 10:18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin. 

‘Now where remission of these is.’ Where sins are remitted, there is no need for an offering for sins any longer. Thus Paul concludes his argument of the priesthood of Christ, begun in Hebrews 5:1. Christ’s offering is efficacious for all past, present, and future sins, but on condition of proper confession of sin and meeting the terms of continued grace (1Jn. 1:9; Rom. 10:9-10).

‘No more offering for sin.’ Christ is better than Old Testament sacrifices: Christ’s sacrifice ratifies the new covenant based upon better promises (8:6-13; 9:15-22; 10:16). Christ makes a way of personal approach to God (9:8; 10:19-23). Christ makes perfect (9:9; 10:1-14). Christ ministers realities (9:11; 8:5; 10:1). Christ makes entrance to heaven (9:12). Christ obtains eternal redemption (9:12-15). Christ purifies the soul (9:12-14). Christ gives eternal inheritance (9:15). Christ opens a heavenly ministry (9:24). Christ ends the many sacrifices (9:25-28). Christ assures justice (9:27; 10:26-31). Christ abolishes the law of Moses (10:9; Col. 2:14). Christ sanctifies all believers (10:14). Christ takes away sins (10:10-18). Christ makes atonement complete (10:12-14). Christ defeats enemies (10:13; Col. 2:14-17). Christ forgets forgiven sins (10:17). Christ remits confessed sins (10:18). Christ gives boldness of approach to God (10:19-23; 4:14-16). Christ gives man an eternal High Priest (10:25-39; 6:20; 7:11-21).
