Hebrews 10:1 KJV
For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
The apostle's concern as is discovered in a number of other Scriptures is the perfection of the children of God. The perfection of the saint is also the chief work and concern of the Father and of the Son.
2 Corinthians 13:9 KJV
For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection.
Matthew 5:48 KJV
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
But here we find what will not make us perfect; the law. It never has and never will. It was not given to make a man perfect but to bring a man to Christ who can and will perfect us.
