Hebrews 7 | What's the lesson for me today?
Limitless Salvation
25 Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.
-Hebrews 7:25
-Hebrews 7:25
It becomes an easy habit for me to place restriction upon the Lord. I find I can treat Him as though I have been the one to finally reach the limits of the salvation He has given me. Whether it be by sin, shortcoming, or my own limitations, I worry that I may discover the limits of God. Indeed He has established boundaries for us to work in, but how short is the hand of God that I would out sin His mercy.
This recurring trial of my mind has led me into a few meditations that I return to often. God is described as rich in mercy. The beautiful thing about how that mercy is described is that it uses the present tense. God is rich in mercy. It is a constant about who He is. We are also given the way to access the riches of His grace. So we are informed by Scripture that He is rich in both mercy and grace. We are also informed that where sin abounds, grace abounds all the more! It is a simple but difficult reality for us to wrap our minds around, but it may prove as a comfort to you as well that you will never out sin the grace of God. Your failures, your limitations, your slip-ups, your backsliding, and so on cannot discover the end of the grace of God. None of that is then to diminish the weight of your sin, rather, it emphasizes the extent of His grace.
When discussing the salvation we get to experience with the Lord, let us hold fast to the faith that Jesus saves us to the uttermost. The salvation we have is one that perfects, and at the end of it, when we are glorified, there will be nothing left corrupt. The Lord intercedes for us continually. Do we truly understand the weight of that?
Imagine the scene between the Father and the Son. Imagine a man. Let name him Sam. Sam lashes out at his wife due to impatience and anger. The Lord Jesus might turn to the Father and say something to the effect of, "Father, Sam has sinned. His sin is grievous and the wages of that sin is death. But I have paid the penalty of that sin. Look to my sacrifice and see that it is finished." That is what intercession looks like. We have seen Moses intercede before the Lord for Israel. We have seen the prophets do the same. We have seen God intercede on their behalf in battle. Now we have the Son of God interceding on our behalf. Let it then be to our joy that we see how the Lord saves us to the uttermost. This is a reality that is cause of rejoicing and celebration! So let us give thanks to the Lord for our salvation.
