The one appointment for all Hebrews 9:24-27 : Christ's sacrifice was a better sacrifice than all Old Testament sacrifices. The sacrifice of Christ is the one and only fountain from which sanctification and spiritual blessings flows. Jesus Christ by one sacrifice has made an end of sin. And it was a one time sacrifice because, "it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment." (Hebrews 9:27)

Man has two appointments. First, man must die once, or, at least, go through a change equivalent to death. After death man shall come to judgment. Those who die in the Lord leave the world to go to heaven, where death is unknown. The day is coming when Christ will appear a second time to take His followers to eternal salvation with Him in glory.

To become a Christian, you must hear God's word and believe (John 6:44-45), you must repent (Acts 2:38), you must confess Christ (Romans 10:9-10), and you must be baptized to be saved (1 Peter 3:21). It is the desire of Jesus that everyone be saved. He said, "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." (Matthew 11:28-30.)

Those who become Christians must continue doing good. Peter wrote, "For it is better, if it is the will of God, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil." (1 Peter 3:17.) Never let a day pass that you are not walking in the will of God.
