Hebrews 10:14

[Van]

Hebrews 10:14 NASB
For by one offering he has perfected for all time those who are made holy.

This verse is frequently poorly translated, as in the case above by the NASB.

What is the "one offering?" The sacrifice of Christ's life on the cross.

What does it mean to be Perfected? To be made perfect, complete, blameless and holy, able to be united with the holiness of God and His perfected chosen ones. Able to enter heaven, the abode of God.

For all time simply refers to the fact, once a person has been perfected, that perfect state is for eternity, never to be lost or diminished.

"Those who are made holy" misses the action of the verb, which is to be set apart in Christ, thus undergoing the washing of regeneration, which results in perfect righteousness.

Unity, God in Christ, Christ in Us, Us in Christ.

The Sermon On The Mount, which is basically an exposition of the law, given by the Author of the law, addressed to the recipients of the law, showing the spirituality of the law, is summed up here:

Matthew Chapter 5

48​	Ye therefore shall be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

....and thank God for this:

Hebrews 10:14 NASB
For by one offering he has perfected for all time those who are made holy.

On and on folks, posters make claims without any understanding of the scripture cited!

Does this verse say will be made perfect passively, or that we are to strive to be perfect as our heavenly Father is perfect?

Strive to be perfect! Other verses teach that we are passively made perfect, but not this one! (Matthew 5:48)

 

[kyredneck]

Ye therefore shall be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Does this verse say will be made perfect passively, or that we are to strive to be perfect as our heavenly Father is perfect?

The latter.

And thank God for this:

Hebrews 10:14 NASB
For by one offering he has perfected for all time those who are made holy.

 

[Van]

Ye therefore shall be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

The latter.

And thank God for this: Hebrews 10:14 NASB
For by one offering he has perfected for all time those who are made holy.

"Those who are made holy" misses the action of the verb, which is to be set apart in Christ, thus undergoing the washing of regeneration, which results in perfect righteousness.

Unity, God in Christ, Christ in Us, Us in Christ.
