Adam Clarke Bible Commentary
For by one offering - His death upon the cross. He hath perfected for ever - He has procured remission of sins and holiness; fur it is well observed here, and in several parts of this epistle, that τελειοω, to make perfect, is the same as αφεσιν ἁμαρτιων ποιεω, to procure remission of sins. Them that are sanctified - Τους ἁγιαζομενους· Them that have received the sprinkling of the blood of this offering. These, therefore, receiving redemption through that blood, have no need of any other offering; as this was a complete atonement, purification, and title to eternal glory.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
For--The sacrifice being "for ever" in its efficacy (Heb 10:12) needs no renewal. them that are sanctified--rather as Greek, "them that are being sanctified." The sanctification (consecration to God) of the elect (Pe1 1:2) believers is perfect in Christ once for all (see on Heb 10:10). (Contrast the law, Heb 7:19; Heb 9:9; Heb 10:1). The development of that sanctification is progressive.
John Gill Bible Commentary
For by one offering,.... The same as before; himself, body and soul; this is a reason why he is set down, and will continue so for ever, and why he expects his enemies to be made his footstool; because by one sacrifice for sin, which he has once offered, he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified; that is, who are sanctified by God the Father, Jde 1:1 or, who are set apart by him in eternal election, from the rest of the world, for his own use, service, and glory, to a state of grace and holiness here, and happiness hereafter; for this is not to be understood either of their being sanctified in Christ, though the Syriac version reads, "that are sanctified" in him, or by his Spirit, though both are true of the same persons; these Christ, by his sacrifice, has perfected, and has perfectly fulfilled the law for them; he has perfectly expiated their sins; he has obtained the full pardon of all their sins, and complete redemption; he has perfectly justified them from all things, and that for ever; which shows the continued virtue of Christ's sacrifice, in all generations, to all the elect of God, and the fulness and duration of their salvation; and so Christ by his one sacrifice did what the law, and all its sacrifices, could not do, Heb 10:1.

Justification: A Royal Pardon
By Charles Finney0Faith and WorksJustificationJOB 9:20JHN 3:16ROM 5:1ROM 8:312CO 5:21GAL 2:16EPH 2:8HEB 10:14JAS 2:211JN 2:1Charles Finney emphasizes that justification is a royal pardon granted by God, not based on our works but through faith in Jesus Christ. He explains that legal justification declares one 'not guilty,' while gospel justification offers pardon and acceptance, treating the sinner as righteous despite their past transgressions. Finney argues that excuses such as sinful nature or inability to obey are insufficient for justification, as true justification requires repentance and faith that produces holiness. He highlights that justification restores the believer to a relationship with God, akin to a child being welcomed back into a royal family. Ultimately, Finney reassures that through faith, believers are supported by God's attributes and grace, ensuring their salvation.

He asserts that believers are perfected forever through Christ's single sacrifice, which clears their consciences and allows them to approach God without fear of condemnation. Darby clarifies that while the Old Testament practices involved blood sprinkling, the New Testament reveals that Christ's offering is sufficient and does not require repetition. He highlights the importance of faith in the efficacy of Christ's sacrifice, which provides a perfect conscience before God. The sermon serves as a reminder that true holiness and liberty in Christ come from recognizing the completeness of His work on the cross.
