In this verse in Hebrews, we learn about the effects of Jesus's work on the cross. He was the one offering that perfected each person who to knocame w Him. Today, we'll break down the verse to better understand the significance of Jesus's death.
Before Jesus's time, the Levite priests would have to make sacrifices for people on a daily basis. If someone wanted to talk to the Lord, they had to bring sacrificial animals to pay the price for their sins. This would have to happen for every sin, over and over again, in order for people to come before the Lord and commune with Him.
There is a reason why Christians no longer make animal sacrifices. Jesus's death was the one and final sacrifice that eliminated the need for any others ever again. While the previous sacrifices were imperfect and had to be repeated, Jesus lived a sinless life and was wholly righteous. His perfection was then imparted to us.

Think about this we are in perfect standing before God because of what Jesus has done. We do not have to bring sacrifices to speak to the Lord. Instead, we speak to the Lord whenever we want and He hears us. When we repent of our sins, we will be met with open arms and love. We do not have to be afraid that our sacrifices will not be enough because the Lord has already declared Jesus to be enough.
We no longer have to bear the burden of our own sanctification. Instead, we can trust that Jesus has washed us clean. When we call out to Him to free us from sin and help us live a pure life before Him, He will be quick to answer and reconcile us to Him.
