Hebrews 9:26 presents Christ’s sacrifice of Himself as a once-for-all act to put away sin.

### Why this is right Hebrews 9:26 contrasts Christ’s appearance with the repeated sacrifices that would have been necessary if His offering had to occur again and again. It says He appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. ### The concept The passage emphasizes the finality of Christ’s offering. “Once for all” means that the sacrifice is not portrayed as a recurring event that must be repeated to secure the same cleansing. Hebrews 9:12 similarly says Christ entered the heavenly sanctuary once and secured complete redemption through His own blood. The focus is the sufficiency and lasting effect of His work. ### Terms - **Once for all**: Completed one time with an enduring effect, rather than repeatedly. - **Sanctuary**: A sacred place set apart for worship and divine presence. ### Remember Hebrews contrasts Christ’s completed offering with repeated sacrifices.
