Hebrews 10:14-18
10:14 a made perfect: See study notes on 7:11, 28.• those who are being made holy: What the author has in mind is complete purification from sins.
Summary for Heb 10:15-17: 10:15-17 b The author again quotes from Jer 31:33-34 c (see Heb 8:7-12 d) to support the statement in 10:14 e, that Christ’s one offering under the new covenant has made worshipers perfect forever.
• God’s laws have now been placed in their hearts and on their minds. This has internalized the believer’s relationship with God.
• I will never again remember their sins and lawless deeds: As the author has shown (9:11–10:14 f), the superior sacrifice of Christ has made this new covenant reality possible.
10:18 g The logical conclusion when sins have been forgiven—that is, when sins have been taken away completely and permanently (10:1-4 h, 11 i)—is that there is no need to offer any more sacrifices. Thus, the superior sacrifice of Christ has made the entire sacrificial system of the old covenant obsolete.
