Sanctified By The Faith of Christ
For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
Hebrews 10:14 KJV
Can you declare in truth, “I’m perfect forever because I’m sanctified in Christ Jesus!”
Sanctified: Declared sinless, holy, and pure, by God.
If not, you need to read a Holy Bible, embrace the Gospel of The LORD Jesus Christ, and begin walking with Him in Spirit and Truth.
- Denominational religion puts sinners down, teaching them to crawl as unworthy worms in the dust before The Most High God.
- The Living Christ loves sinners, and without a trace of condemnation, draws them gently to Himself, lifts them to His bosom, washes them spotlessly clean with His Own Precious Blood, clothes them in God’s Righteousness, and seats them in Him, on His Heavenly throne.
Both statements are true: Which are you living?
Hebrews chapters nine and ten teach that believers in Christ are no longer sinners, but by the grace of God, trusting in The LORD Jesus Christ, we’re; sanctified, accounted holy, righteous saints, perfect in Christ, able to approach Him with boldness, and be welcomed into His Presence.
Did you know that?
Has your denomination ever shared this Gospel truth with you?
Or are they still leaving you under The Law that only brings condemnation and death?
Lo, I come to do thy will
Here’s how the Holy Ghost summarises the contrast between the Mosaic Law and the New Covenant we live under, Heb. 10:4-14 KJV (Capitals and bold added);
For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.
Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.
Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God.
He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
By the which will WE ARE sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.
For by one offering HE HATH perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
Is that in your Bible?
It’s in the one God The Holy Ghost authored: The King James Version.

Believe what God’s written, and the Holy Ghost endorses: Not what men teach you.
The Only Teacher To Trust
Ensure you’re taught by the Spirit of Truth, God the Holy Spirit, not pastors and pundits. Jn. 16:13-15 KJV;
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
Be ye Doers of The Word
Put God’s words into practise in your life, and you’ll discover they come from Heaven, and that they produce what they say. Jn. 7:16-18 KJV;
Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
Sanctified By Faith in Christ
The instant you repented from unbelief in Christ, and received Him as LORD, you were made holy, righteous, alive forever in Christ Jesus.
Father accepted the Precious Blood Sacrifice of His Only Begotten Son on The Mercy Seat of Heaven.
Eternally Redeemed
Christ did enough to make you perfect in Him, it is His Perfection bestowed on you by grace alone, Because of His Faith. Acts 26:13-18 KJV; (Bold and capitals added)
At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me.
And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee; Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee, To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them WHICH ARE SANCTIFIED BY FAITH that is IN ME.
Believe what God has written for you, and dare to declare with holy boldness;
I’m holy, righteous, made perfect in Christ Jesus, accepted by God, my Heavenly Father, NOT because of what I’ve done, other than trust in the Faith of The LORD Jesus Christ: What He’s done for me once and for all.
Who Do You Think You Are?
Now the religious crowd will deride such talk, accusing you of pride, reminding you that the Apostle Paul wrote that he wasn’t yet perfect, So do you think you’re better than Paul? Philippians 3:12 KJV;
Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
To which the Spirit-filled bible believer replies, “No, not better than Paul’s perfection of flesh, but infinitely better than that in my perfection in Christ!“
Which will send them muttering with unbelief and hatred; that’s what religious folks do by habit. But believers of the written word will smile and give a hearty “Me too, Amen, Halleluia!”
Understanding Comes By Revelation
If this confuses you, seek the LORD for revelation.
It’s not difficult to grasp, and it’ll make all the difference to your peace of heart, and walk with Christ until He appears for us.
I ought also to mention the meaning of the word “perfect” in the KJV.
It is mostly used in the biblical sense of; completed, finished, not in the modern absolute sense of; pristine, sinless and faultless.
The Apostle Paul certainly knew that he was perfect in Christ, like all genuinely born again believers, whilst still not yet having matured into the finished reflection of Christ in his fleshly Earth walk.
Paul also wrote the book of Hebrews, so we know he had the revelation of what it was to be perfect in Christ, just like us!
For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
Hebrews 10:14 KJV
Father wants believers to shout that from the rooftops.
