Hebrews 7:25a

"Wherefore..."


Now remember whenever Paul uses that word wherefore, what does it do? Sends you back to what he's just got through saying and he's just been telling us that this man, the Man Christ Jesus, God the Son Who had finished the work of salvation in His death, burial and resurrection. This Man, in verse 24, has an unchangeable priesthood. He's immutable. He never changes. Just because He took on flesh, suffered and died doesn't mean that He never stopped being the Eternal Sovereign Creator God of the universe.


Hebrews 7:25

"Wherefore he (this Son) is able also to save them to the uttermost (in other words completely, not just partially) that come unto God by him,..."


Not some other way. John's Gospel tells us that if they try to come in some other way, they are what? They are a thief and a robber, and so there is only this one way.


Now we're living in a time where that doesn't go down easy. I'll probably get kicked off television someday for standing on this premise, that it's an exclusive Gospel that saves us. It is not just one of many. The scripture is adamant that there is no other name given among men, whereby we must be saved. And the scripture is also adamant that this is the only way that God will accept mankind and so here we have it. Because of Who this Man Christ Jesus was with a priesthood after the order of Melchisedec. Because of Who He is, "He is able to save to the uttermost those who come to God by Him or through Him, and the reason being:


Hebrews 7:25b

"...seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them."


He ever liveth for all eternity, from past to future. Consequently He can make intercession or be the constant comfort for them who have placed their faith in His death, burial, and resurrection for salvation.


Now I'm going to take the time, because I get so many phone calls, over and over, asking "Well, how do I experience this salvation that you're talking about?" I always feel as though I make it plain, but evidently I'm not making it plain enough for a lot of people. And so again we're going to stop for a few moments and just show how to enter in to this great salvation that is completed at the moment that we're saved by believing. We're not just partially saved, but we have to do it God's way. Not some denomination's idea. Not my idea, but God's way. And the best way is to just go back and search the scriptures.
