Christ set us apart for God by offering his own body once as a sacrifice.

Hebrews 10:5-10

5 So, as Christ was coming into the world, he spoke to his Father about offering himself as a sacrifice for people’s sin. The Psalmist wrote this that Christ said:

It is not sacrifices and offerings that you (sg) have wanted,

but you have prepared for me a body to serve you.

6 Animals that are completely burned up as sacrifices have not pleased you,

and other sacrifices that atone for those who have sinned have not pleased you.

7 Then because of this, I said, “My God, ◄listen!/here I am!►

I have come here in order to do what you want me to do,

just like has been written {as they have written} about me in the Scriptures.”

8 First, Christ said, “It is not sacrifices and offerings and animals that the priests have completely burned up and other offerings to atone for those who have sinned that you have really wanted. They have not pleased you.” Christ said that even though those things were offered {they offered all those things} according to the laws God gave Moses! 9 Then, concerning his offering himself as a sacrifice to atone for people’s sin, he said, “Listen! I have come here to do what you want me to do!” In that way Christ got rid of the first way of atoning for sin, in order to establish the second way of atoning for sin. 10 Because of Jesus Christ doing what God wanted him to do, we have been dedicated to {he has set us apart for} God by his offering his own body only once as a sacrifice, a sacrifice that will not need to be repeated.
