For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified. Hebrews 10:14
This verse is speaking of the offering Christ offered on the cross. By this sacrifice Jesus perfected believers for all time in God's sight, righteous and justified. Finished. Yet while the "perfection" is completed, the sanctification process is ongoing and in process. So we think of ourselves as righteous, justified, completely forgiven and loved by God as adopted sons and daughters. We participate in the sanctification process not to earn a better place with God, but because of the good place with God we have already been given.
