# how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
The author uses this question to emphasize that Christ's sacrifice was the most powerful.

Because, through the eternal Spirit, he offered himself unblemished to God." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]])
