Hebrews 9:27-28

Baptist
SCRIPTURE

"And inasmuch as it is appointed unto men once to die, and after this [cometh] judgment; so Christ also, having been once offered to bear the sins of many, shall appear a second time, apart from sin, to them that wait for him, unto salvation." — Hebrews 9:27-28 (ASV)

But after this the judgment: so Christ was once offered -

Only once-

And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: so Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

He will come to complete the salvation of those for whom his precious sacrifice was offered all those hundreds of years ago.

Now let us read the passage to which Paul refers in verses 19 to 21.

And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: so Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

His one offering so fully met all the claims of divine justice on behalf of all his people that there was no need of another offering for sin, and no room for it; so his second coming will be "without a sin offering to salvation," as the passage may be rendered.
