One sacrifice forever

"I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." (Rom 12:1-2)

This is the holy, pleasing and perfect will of God... By one sacrifice He has made perfect forever those who are being made holy. (Heb 10:14) For Christ has fulfilled the requirements of the laws and became that one sacrifice for us. Through Him we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. Therefore let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that confess His name. (Heb 13:15) Hear Him!
