He then would have had to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now, once at the end of the ages, He has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. (Hebrews 9:26 NKJV)
By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. (Hebrews 10:10 NKJV)
Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints. (Jude 1:3 NKJV)
What was the faith that was once delivered to the saints (Jude 1:3)?
Hebrews 9:26 and 10:10 tell us:
Christ appeared once to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself and we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
This is the faith that was once delivered to the saints. Anyone who adds to that by saying you have to do certain rituals to be forgiven of your sin or to earn merit with God, or take part in rituals that are said to be offering up the body of Christ repeatedly, is not contending for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints. They teach a false gospel.
