1 Cor. 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
Amen and Amen! The Chief Apostle, Jesus Christ, left His word and Holy Spirit with us so that we can be guided by the truth! He is also known as our High Priest. This is the only time in the King James Bible that the words High Priest are capitalized. The earthly high priests of the Jewish faith had to sacrifice daily, not only for their own sins but for those of the people’s. Our High Priest was the perfect Sacrifice for all mankind. He didn’t need to offer a sacrifice for His own sins because He is God and led a sinless earthly life. Therefore, His sacrifice was perfect for all and covers all sin. Because of this, His sacrifice was offered once, for everyone. There is no longer a need for daily sacrifice.
We are sanctified through this sacrifice, once for all! Noah Webster’s 1828 Dictionary defines “sanctified” as:
SANC’TIFIED, pp.
Made holy; consecrated; set apart for sacred services.
Affectedly holy.
Believers in Jesus Christ as Saviour of all mankind are made holy; we are consecrated; we are set apart for sacred services; we are affectedly holy! Not because of our own efforts but totally by Christ’s effort! Praise the Lord!!
