The will of God is often associated with His plan for salvation and redemption, as seen throughout the Old and New Testaments. In the context of Hebrews, it emphasizes the fulfillment of God's promise through Jesus Christ. This aligns with the prophetic declarations in the Old Testament, such as in <a href="/isaiah/53.htm">Isaiah 53</a>, where the suffering servant fulfills God's will for the redemption of humanity.we have been sanctified Sanctification here refers to being set apart for a holy purpose. In the Old Testament, sanctification was often achieved through rituals and sacrifices, as seen in Leviticus. However, the New Testament redefines sanctification through the work of Jesus Christ. This sanctification is not a repeated process but a definitive act accomplished through Christ's sacrifice, contrasting with the continual sacrifices under the Old Covenant.through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ The sacrifice of Jesus is central to Christian theology, fulfilling the sacrificial system of the Old Testament. The body of Jesus signifies His incarnation, emphasizing that He was fully human and fully divine. This sacrifice is a fulfillment of the typology seen in the Passover lamb (Exodus 12) and the sacrificial system outlined in Leviticus. Jesus' sacrifice is once and for all, unlike the repeated sacrifices of animals, which could not fully atone for sin.once for all This phrase underscores the finality and completeness of Christ's sacrifice. Unlike the repeated sacrifices of the Levitical priesthood, Jesus' sacrifice was sufficient for all time. This concept is echoed in <a href="/hebrews/7-27.htm">Hebrews 7:27 and 9</a>:12, where the author emphasizes the superiority of Christ's priesthood and sacrifice. The "once for all" nature of His sacrifice fulfills the prophecy of a new covenant found in <a href="/jeremiah/31-31.htm">Jeremiah 31:31-34</a>, where God promises a new way of relating to His people.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jesus_christ.htm">Jesus Christ</a> Central to this verse, Jesus is the one whose sacrifice sanctifies believers.

Believers do not need to rely on repeated rituals or sacrifices to be sanctified. <a href="/topical/u/understanding_sanctification.htm">Understanding Sanctification</a> Sanctification is both a completed act through Christ and an ongoing process in the believer's life. It is important to live in a way that reflects this set-apart status. <a href="/topical/l/living_in_the_new_covenant.htm">Living in the New Covenant</a> Embrace the freedom and responsibility that come with living under the new covenant. This involves a personal relationship with God through Jesus, rather than adherence to a set of rules. <a href="/topical/t/the_will_of_god_in_our_lives.htm">The Will of God in Our Lives</a> Just as Jesus fulfilled God's will through His sacrifice, believers are called to seek and fulfill God's will in their own lives, trusting in His plan and purpose. <a href="/topical/t/the_role_of_faith.htm">The Role of Faith</a> Faith is essential in accepting the sufficiency of Christ's sacrifice and living out the sanctified life. Trust in what Jesus has done, rather than relying on personal merit.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_hebrews_10.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Hebrews 10</a> <a href="/q/can_catholics_eat_meat_on_fridays.htm">Are Catholics allowed to eat meat on Fridays?</a> <a href="/q/what_does_'jesus_died_once_for_all'_mean.htm">What does "Jesus died once for all" mean?</a> <a href="/q/what_does_'put_words_in_your_mouth'_mean.htm">What does 'Jesus died once for all' mean?</a> <a href="/q/who_is_chuck_smith.htm">What are spiritual sacrifices in religious practices?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/hebrews/10.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(10) By the which will we are sanctified.--Better, In which will we have been sanctified. In the last verse we read of that which Jesus established--the doing of the will of God. He did that will when He offered the sacrifice of His perfect obedience--"obedience as far as death" (<a href="/philippians/2-8.htm" title="And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient to death, even the death of the cross.">Philippians 2:8</a>). In this will of God which He accomplished lies our sanctification, effected "through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all." In <a href="/hebrews/9-14.htm" title="How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?">Hebrews 9:14</a> the efficacy of the blood of Christ to cleanse the conscience is contrasted with the power of the offerings of the law to "sanctify in regard to cleanness of the flesh:" here the real sanctification is joined with "the offering of the body of Jesus Christ." In the word "body" lies a reference to <a href="/hebrews/10-8.htm" title="Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin you would not, neither had pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;">Hebrews 10:8</a>, where the body is looked on as the instrument of obedient service (comp. <a href="/romans/12-1.htm" title="I beseech you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.">Romans 12:1</a>); but the word "offering" still preserves its sacrificial character, and contains an allusion to the presentation of the body of the slain victim. (Comp. <a href="/hebrews/13-11.htm" title="For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.">Hebrews 13:11</a>). As this offering has been presented "once for all" (<a href="/hebrews/7-27.htm" title="Who needs not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.">Hebrews 7:27</a>; <a href="/hebrews/9-12.htm" title="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.">Hebrews 9:12</a>), so "once for all" has the work of sanctification been achieved. . . . <a href="/commentaries/hebrews/10-10.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>[And] by ἐν (en) Preposition <a href="/greek/strongs_1722.htm">Strong's 1722: </a> In, on, among.
