Hebrews 7:25

Posted by joncooper

Hebrews 7:25: “Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.”

This is an interesting point. Throughout all of eternity our salvation will depend on the continued life of Jesus; we have been given His righteousness, and He “ever liveth to make intercession” for us. Now, there is no danger of Jesus ever dying, or failing, or stopping His work – but the fact remains that Jesus must keep doing this forever in order for us to be saved. Jesus made an eternal commitment to us. His work did not stop when He died on the cross and rose again. We are forever dependent upon Jesus – but He is fully dependable. Others may fail us and let us down, but Jesus will not.
