Complete Salvation

Scripture:

Hebrews 7:25 "Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through Him, because He always lives to intercede for them".

Observation:

As Christ and His priesthood is being described, we are given these beautiful words.  The author says that Christ is able to "save completely", because Christ lives to intercede for us.  God doesn't offer us partial salvation.  He says that He is able to "save completely".  As we come to God through Christ we are fully and completely saved.  Jesus paid the price forever and now intercedes for us, therefore we can stand secure in Him.

Application:

We don't have to wander through life wondering whether we are saved or not.  Jesus paid the price completely and thoroughly enough for all of our sins, past, present and future.  If we are coming to God through Christ, we have perfect access to the Father and Christ is always making intercession for us.  He does an amazing job, therefore, we can walk in confidence in our salvation.  Our salvation is not based on our actions, but on His.  He saves completely!

Prayer:

Father, thank You for letting me see this today.  You truly save completely and powerfully!  You have provided us the way of access to You through Christ Jesus.  You have given us everything we need for life and godliness.  Teach me to use it well and make the most of it.  Thank you for completely saving me.

Your Son Forever,
Jeff
