Most of us would say that we are forgiven before God through Christ’s sacrifice alone, yet it is easy to live as though we still need to pay for our sins and earn God’s favor. This passage teaches that, unlike the sacrifices under the Old Covenant, Jesus’ sacrifice of himself was acceptable and sufficient: perfectly acceptable to God, and utterly sufficient to pay, once-for-all, the debt for the sins of God’s people, so that in Christ we are assured that our sins are remembered no more.
