Christ's Sacrifice Once for All
Hebrews 10 shows that the Law was never able to make perfect those who draw near because it was a shadow of the good things to come and not a reality in itself.

Now we can draw near to God through the veil of Christ's body, having our hearts sprinkled clean and our conscience clear.
