“We have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.”
Hebrews 10:10
Hebrews 10:10
Holiness is often misunderstood as something we achieve through our own effort, discipline, or moral striving. But this verse reminds us that true holiness comes from God, and it has been accomplished once and for all through Jesus’ sacrifice. We are not made holy by trying harder; we are made holy because Christ gave His life for us.
The phrase “once for all” carries great significance. Jesus’ sacrifice is complete and sufficient. We don’t need to earn God’s favor through repeated rituals, works, or performances. Instead, we receive the gift of holiness as a result of His obedience and love. This transforms how we live—no longer striving in fear or guilt, but walking confidently as those set apart for God’s purposes.
Today, reflect on what it means to be holy because of Jesus. Let His sacrifice shape your thoughts, words, and actions. Live, not to prove your worth, but in gratitude for the holiness He has freely given. Stand in the freedom and identity He secured and let your life reflect His glory.

1. Lord, thank You for making me holy through Jesus’ sacrifice. Pray with gratitude for the gift of holiness that comes not by our effort, but through Christ’s obedience and love.
2. Father, help me live as one set apart for Your purposes. Ask God to guide your thoughts, words, and actions so they reflect the holiness He has freely given.
3. Holy Spirit, remind me daily of the completeness of Jesus’ sacrifice. Pray for assurance and confidence that His sacrifice is sufficient, freeing you from guilt, fear, and striving to earn God’s favor.
4. Lord, as a church, help us embrace the holiness You have given us through Christ’s sacrifice. Pray that Friends Church would collectively live as people set apart for God’s purposes, walking in the freedom and confidence that comes from Jesus’ sacrifice, and reflecting His love and glory around the corner and around the world.
