Yes — Christ obtained eternal redemption for us by entering once into the holy place with His own blood.
Hebrews 9:12 says He entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. Les Feldick emphasizes that this happened once, not repeatedly, and that redemption is received through faith in His blood.
Hebrews 9:12 — This verse directly states that Christ entered once into the holy place by His own blood and obtained eternal redemption for us.
Hebrews 7:27 — It shows the contrast with high priests who offered daily sacrifices; Christ offered Himself once.
Hebrews 9:12 says that Christ “entered in once into the holy place” with His own blood and “obtained eternal redemption for us.” Hebrews 7:27 explains why this was enough: unlike the high priests who had to offer up sacrifice daily, first for their own sins and then for the people's, Christ “did once, when he offered up himself.” Romans 6:9 adds that Christ, “being raised from the dead, dieth no more.” Romans 3:24–25 also points to redemption in Christ Jesus and describes Him as the propitiation through faith in His blood.
Les Feldick repeatedly directs students to the word “once” in Hebrews. He emphasizes that Christ did not have to die over and over again; the finished work of Christ was done once. Using the picture of the high priest, he points out that Israel's priests were human, died, and had to be replaced, and their ritual was exercised year after year. Christ, on the other hand, entered once into the holy place with His own blood and obtained eternal redemption for us. Les also stresses that redemption comes through the blood of Christ and is received by faith. He explains that people are redeemed when they believe what God says about the shed blood and about Christ's death, burial, and resurrection. The work of the cross made reconciliation available to the whole human race, and believers have salvation for all eternity.
The high priests of Israel were human; they died, and others had to take their place. The Day of Atonement ritual was exercised year after year. Les Feldick contrasts that with Christ, who entered the holy place once with His own blood and obtained eternal redemption for us. As Les puts it, the finished work of Christ hinges on the word “once.”
Les says the word “once” is the word he wants people to never forget in Hebrews. Christ, being raised from the dead, dieth no more. He did not need to suffer repeatedly. His one offering settled the matter, and that is why the redemption He obtained is called eternal.
Les points to two mandatory statements of Scripture: without shedding of blood there is no remission, and without faith it is impossible to please God. He says the only thing God can use to purchase mankind's redemption is blood, and Paul's words show that God set forth Christ as a propitiation through faith in His blood. Redemption is therefore applied when a person believes the gospel — the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ.
Les teaches that when we believe the gospel, we identify with Christ's death. Old Adam is put to death, and life really begins. Christ's victory over sin, death, and hell is imputed to our account, giving us not only salvation for this life but for all eternity. As Les says, believers already have eternal life within them.
Christ Dies No More
Les teaches that Christ did not have to die over and over again; the word “once” is the key concept in Hebrews.
The Finished Work of Christ and Eternal Redemption
Les highlights the word “once” in Hebrews and says Christ, as our high priest, obtained eternal redemption for us.
Christ Entered Once With His Own Blood
Les draws from the tabernacle picture and says the Lord Jesus entered the holy place once with His own blood, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
Redemption Through Faith in His Blood
Les says we are redeemed when we believe what God says about the shed blood and about Christ's death, burial, and resurrection.
The Blood as the Only Purchase Price
Les explains that the only thing God can use to purchase mankind's redemption is blood, and faith in Christ's blood is the only way to experience it.
Redemption Paid for Everyone Who Believes
Les describes redemption as the purchase price paid for the salvation of everyone if they will simply believe the gospel.
The Day of Atonement and Christ's Once-for-All Entrance
Les contrasts Israel's high priest entering once a year with Christ entering once into the holy place and presenting His own blood.
Available Reconciliation and Eternal Life
Les teaches that the work of the cross made reconciliation available to the whole human race, and believers have eternal life within them.
Hebrews 9:12: Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
This is the central verse showing that Christ's single entrance with His own blood secured eternal redemption.
Hebrews 7:27: Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.
This contrast explains why Christ's one offering was sufficient and needed no repetition.
Romans 6:9: Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
This shows that Christ's once-for-all work means He does not die again.
Romans 3:24–25: Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
This connects redemption to faith in Christ's blood and God's gracious justification.
It means His single sacrifice fully paid for redemption and needs no repetition. Hebrews says He entered the holy place once with His own blood and obtained eternal redemption for us.
Because it shows Christ's work was finished in one offering. He did not have to keep dying; as Romans 6:9 says, being raised from the dead, He dieth no more.
Les Feldick teaches that redemption is applied when a person believes what God says about the shed blood of Christ and His death, burial, and resurrection. Paul describes justification through faith in Christ's blood.
Old covenant high priests offered sacrifices daily and yearly, but Christ offered Himself once. His redemption is eternal.
