Saved and Safe 2

Devotional Reading: Therefore he is able, once and forever, to save those who come to God through him. He lives forever to intercede with God on their behalf. Hebrews 7:25 NLT

Do we ever think God can have enough of us? Can we ever frustrate Him so badly that He throws His hands in the air because He’s fed up? Truth is, He often watches us struggle with the same sin or the same addiction. However, do you think there is a point where He’ll file divorce papers toward our salvation? No, never.

We must know that God’s patience is long enduring; His love is everlasting. Because we have no earthly example of this type of love, we must discover the depth of God’s commitment toward His children from Scripture.

Because Jesus lives forever, he has a permanent priesthood. Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them. (Hebrews 7:23-25)

Those of us in Christ are completely and permanently saved. There are no cancellations of salvation. It’s a union without dissolution.

So if you’ve ever wondered whether Jesus forgives your type of sin, the answer is yes. Completely. He is able to save completely those who come to God through Him. And the good news is, there is nothing else for you to do. You show up in Christ, and He has done the rest.

God’s commitment to those of us in Christ will never run out of gas. He will never grow tired. He won’t change His mind about you because He won’t change His mind about Jesus—and you are in Christ.

Prayer and Confession
Jesus, the permanence of Your love is like a foreign language to me. Teach it to me. May I be so familiar and so comfortable in Your unending commitment that resting in Your promise of salvation becomes as effortless as breathing. Amen.
