When Christ offered himself as a sacrifice ,he was doing what no one else could,it was a act of total obedience, he came to do the will of God in his life and death on the cross,this he did, .His life was sinless, his death was the final piece in the jigsaw,all this he did voluntary CP John 10 v 17 - 18. Next, it was the total remedy for our salvation,his death and that alone saves,his work ,not ours saves,we do not add anything unto it,if we try to do this,we will never be saved.Next it was a once and for all sacrifice,this is very important, for there are millions of people who believe that Christ sacrifice needs to be repeated again and again,I speak of the Mass,practiced by the Roman Catholic Church. They define it in these words,'it is that self same sacrifice that was made on Calvary,yet without blood.'It is obvious that the Roman Catholic Church, have never accepted what God's word clearly teaches. I commend you to read Hebrews 9 v 23 - 28/10 . v28 reads,' Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many'. Chap 9 v25 in AV reads,'Nor yet that He should offer Himself often', if he did offer himself often ,it would really be telling us that his sacrifice would only be akin to the animal sacrifice ,and of no value.His sacrifice rules out purgatory, because only the blood of Christ can cleanse us from our sin.1 John 1 v 7.
'Jesus paid it all'
