Good morning. For this reason He is the mediator of a new covenant, in order that since a death has taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. Under the old covenant every time a sin was committed the death of an animal had to occur. With the new covenant there was a one-time offering for sin – Jesus. As a result, we who have been called receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. If we inherit something from someone while we are alive, the inheritance lasts only while we're still living. This inheritance lasts even after we die. Where there is a covenant there must of necessity be the death of the one who made it. For a covenant is valid only when men are dead, for it is never enforced while the one who made it lives. While they are alive, they don't need a covenant. It is only after that they are dead that you need a document stating the agreement. While they are alive, they keep it on their own honor. He then talks about Moses sprinkling blood on everything to cleanse it. He then mentions that Jesus offered Himself only once. He does not need to do it year after year like the blood of animals was needed by the high priest every year. In as much as it is appointed for man to die once and after that comes judgment, so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, He shall appear a second time for salvation without sin, to those who eagerly await Him. Father thank You that Jesus offered Himself for our sins. Through Him we have an eternal salvation and inheritance.
