Hebrews 9:12

Baptist
SCRIPTURE

"nor yet through the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, entered in once for all into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption." — Hebrews 9:12 (ASV)

Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.

The Jewish high priests went once a year into the Holy of Holies. Each year as it came around demanded that they should go again. Their work was never done; but He entered in once, and only once, into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.

I love that expression, eternal redemption—a redemption which really does redeem, and redeems forever and ever. If you are redeemed by it, you cannot be lost; if this redemption be yours, it is not for a time, or for a season, but it is eternal redemption.

Oh, how you ought to rejoice in the one entrance within the veil by our great High Priest who has obtained eternal redemption for us!
