The infinite sufficiency and Efficacy of Once!

The infinite sufficiency and Efficacy of Once! Christ's Suffering, Shed Blood, wounds and Death on the Cross, Once! Not perpetually or repeated or yearly or monthly or weekly or daily!
I Peter 3:18:
"For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit,"

The infinite sufficiency of Once! Christ's Suffering, Shed Blood, wounds and Death on the Cross, Once! Not perpetually, repeated, yearly or weekly, or daily!
Yes, Jesus was wounded, Once!
Yes, Jesus was scourged, Once!
Yes, Jesus Blood was shed, Once!
Yes, Jesus was beaten and wore a crown of Thorns, Once!
Yes, Jesus had nails driven into His Hands and Feet, to God's Appointed Cross of wood, to God's Appointed Tree that made the wood that the nails were driven in, Once!
Yes, Jesus was crushed, Once, to suffer the wrath of God, Once! To appease the wrath of God, Once! In the libation of His Blood, Once! For Propitiation in His Blood to satisfy and to vindicate the righteousness, Holiness, Justice and Love of God, Once! For the penalty of my sin cursed nature, Once! Though sins may surface more often repeated, perpetually, yearly, monthly, weekly and daily, not withstanding, Once by His wounds His people are healed!

Yes, Jesus suffered, Once! In His mortal Body, the power of Death over His Mortal Body, only to have Resurrected, Once! In His body, unto immortality to break the power of the jaws of Death and break the power of sin ruling over the person in the sin cursed nature. To Deliver, Redeem, Save from the sin cursed nature by impartation of New Life in regeneration of the New Birth by the Holy Spirit, Once! For the Eternal Blessing of Everlasting Life for the Believer to be Redeemed in Body, Soul and Spirit, never to Die again, but also Raised unto immortality for Everlasting Life, Once!

For His Onetime wounds, shed Blood and Death on the Cross and Resurrection is infinitely, sufficient and efficacious for my healing of my infectious, festering curse of the cancer of sin, death and Decay in my life. Jesus was wounded for His infinite, sufficient and efficacious offer of His Onetime wounds for my Eternal Healing, a balm to bind up the wound of my sin, death and darkness of death! To bring me Light, Life, righteousness, Holiness and Eternal Joy of Everlasting Life!

Jesus was wounded,but not to become a festering wound of infection to bring Him death again, because of His One-time wounds, a wounding of Once is enough for my healing! And I am healed! And I will walk around for all Eternity with no scars of sin and death without spot or wrinkle, as He walks around with nail scarred Hands and feet in His immortal, Reurrected Body!

Notwithstanding, this one-time sufficiency and efficacy of his shed blood and Death on the cross for my sins, once suffered is mine by perpetuity of God's promise and becomes Mine by one-time appropriation of Faith and daily reminders of the appropriated faith in God's perpetual Lovingkindness, Faithfulnees and promise confessing my sin and daily appropriating by faith His one-time shed blood for my cleansing, forgiveness and restoration and Redemption in his one-time wounds that He suffered for me on the cross to enjoy the blessings of his one-time Resurrection unto immortality for me to enjoy everlasting life and the blessings of life more abundantly and Free, by the appropriation of Faith to the blessings of God's faithful promise in his one-time sacrifice, finished work on the cross in His shed blood and Death on the cross and Resurrection from the grave, for my Eternal Salvation!

Jesus, In Thy onetime wounds I find relief, From my greatest sin and grief. Let my life and conversation Be directed by Thy Word; Lord, Thy constant preservation To Thy erring child afford. Nowhere but alone in Thee From all harm can I be free!

Isaiah 53:5
"But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed"

Jeremiah 8:22
"Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then has the health of the daughter of my people not been restored?"

Jeremiah 46 11
"11Go up to Gilead, and take balm,
O virgin daughter of Egypt!
In vain you have used many medicines;
there is no healing for you."

On hearing this, Jesus said, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.
