One of the key words in Hebrews 9 is "once". It occurs in verses 12, 26, 27 and 28 as well as in 10:2. In verse 27 we are told that it is man's destiny to die once and then the judgment but in verse 28 tells us that Christ died once to take away the sins of the people and therefore there is no more condemnation.
If all we had was the Old Testament we would know that we are guilty before a holy God but Hebrews tells us that that guilt has been taken away.
