He Is Able - All The LORD is near Daily Devotionals for 2025

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

He Is Able
As the ever-living One, He is able to deliver completely those who draw near to God by Him, seeing He always lives to make intercession for them. It should be noted that salvation to the uttermost here does not simply mean salvation from every kind of sin, but is even greater than that—salvation forevermore. He whom God saves is saved eternally, for He who died for him lives to keep him and to complete the work He began.

And thus our souls are stirred to worship and thanksgiving as we realize how suited our great High Priest is to the need of those who were once unholy, harmful and denied, sinful and degraded; for He gives us a perfect representation before the throne of God. He is everything that we were not and should have been. He is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and higher than the heavens, and He is all this for us. Nor is it necessary that He, like the high priests of old, should offer daily sacrifices. They offered for their own sins, for they were themselves unclean, and then they offered on behalf of the people. But these sacrifices never settled the sin question. He, by His one offering up of Himself upon the cross, has completed the work that saves, and settled the sin question for all eternity. The law constituted men as high priests who were themselves infirm and unreliable, but the divine oath has proclaimed Jesus to be a Priest forever, He who is, as to the mystery of His Person, the Son of the eternal Father.

We know He liveth now

At God’s right hand above;
We know the throne on which He sits,

We know His truth and love.
