| Our Savior who saves us is able to secure our salvation! When we think of the positions and works of Jesus Christ we are to include His ascension. Upon completing His work given to Him by His Heavenly Father to do on earth, Jesus returns to heaven where He sits down at the right hand of the Father. In this new position, He is our great High Priest of whom we come boldly to the throne of grace to get help. (Heb. 4:14-16) He serves as our advocate based on 1 John 2:1. We learn here in Hebrews 7:25 that He also intercedes for us. Pause to imagine that Jesus is right now PRAYING for you! He undertakes your causes and concerns and cares and conflicts, and He makes intercession for you. He secures for you strength and grace to move forward. When we consider our great salvation provided by our compassionate and loving Savior we need to know and must know that He who began a good work in us will complete it. Because He is alive having risen from the dead, He has the power to fend off any foe that would seek to prevent the completion of our salvation. An earthly priest did not have such power. The writer says He is able to save to the UTTERMOST. The idea of uttermost is far greater than forever. He is able to save COMPLETELY. There will never be any abandonment of a child of God. Placing our faith in Jesus Christ for salvation is the wisest decision you could ever make for only He can provide a safe and secure salvation. We are safe and secure in the hands of the Savior!!
