Dictionary of Biblical Words:

In the Old Testament priests were consecrated (Lev. 8); in the New, Christ is consecrated a priest for evermore (Heb. 7:28²⁸For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore. (Hebrews 7:28)), and He has consecrated for us a way into the holiest (Heb. 10:20²⁰By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; (Hebrews 10:20)). The word is now often used to express entire devotion or self dedication (Rom. 12:1¹I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. (Romans 12:1)).
