Hebrews 9:23-30 (New American Standard Bible)

23Therefore it was necessary for the copies of the things in the heavens to be cleansed with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

For Christ did not enter a holy place made with hands, a mere copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us;

nor was it that He would offer Himself often, as the high priest enters the holy place year by year with blood that is not his own.

Otherwise, He would have needed to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now once at the consummation of the ages He has been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself.

And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment,

So Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await Him.

Man, THAT IS EXCITING STUFF!!!! It's late and I should be in bed, but I just can't get over my joy in the Lord tonight!! I typed in the words, "One True God" on Bible Gateway and found this passage. LOOK AT THIS!!

Hebrews has been my life book. It saved me from the years of bondage thinking I could lose my salvation. Here it is again. He didn't enter a Holy place made with the mere hands of men. NO SIR!! He entered the heavens, the home of GOD ALMIGHTY! Because He is MY GREAT HIGH PRIEST, He no longer has to suffer often for my many sins, but "now once at the consummation of the ages He has been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself". If you are a Christian, and that doesn't excite you, THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH YOU!

Then, look at the last of it. We walk around (and I am including myself in this) focusing on our burdens and our circumstances like the saddest sack people on the planet. No wonder no one wants to be a Christian. We are kill joys! Here we are told that Christ offered once to BEAR THE SINS OF MANY and He Will appear a second time WITHOUT REFERENCE TO SIN, to who?? To the world? No!! To those who EAGERLY await Him!!!

How eager are you for Christ's return? Are you thinking...no my baby needs to grow up, no I have to get married, no I want a career, etc. etc. I used the think that way when I was a nominal Christian (and most likely NOT SAVED), BUT NOT NOW! Man, I can tell you if it weren't for the deep burden of my soul for so many that are going to meet this day of judgment NOT IN CHRIST, I would be ready to see Him RIGHT THIS VERY MINUTE! But, for your sakes, I am grateful He tarries.

Please, don't waste ONE MORE SECOND of your life on THIS PERISHING WORLD that offers false god's made by the hands of men. SURRENDER your heart today to THE ONE TRUE GOD not made by human hands. If you will, you will NEVER REGRET IT and YOU WON'T HAVE TO HOLD ON TO HIM because HE WILL HOLD ON TO YOU FOR ETERNITY!!
