8
The Holy Spirit clearly teaches from all these arrangements that the way into the Most Holy Place has not yet been opened as long as the outer tent still stands.
9
This is a symbol which points to the present time. It means that the offerings and animal sacrifices presented to God cannot make the worshiper's heart perfect,
10

Hebrews 10:1-14
1
The Jewish Law is not a full and faithful model of the real things; it is only a faint outline of the good things to come. The same sacrifices are offered forever, year after year. How can the Law, then, by means of these sacrifices make perfect the people who come to God?
2
If the people worshiping God had really been purified from their sins, they would not feel guilty of sin any more, and all sacrifices would stop.

As it is, however, the sacrifices serve year after year to remind people of their sins.
4
For the blood of bulls and goats can never take away sins.

Because Jesus Christ did what God wanted him to do, we are all purified from sin by the offering that he made of his own body once and for all.

Yet we know that a person is put right with God only through faith in Jesus Christ, never by doing what the Law requires.

For no one is put right with God by doing what the Law requires.
