Uttermost Salvation For God's Children
But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable
priesthood. Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that
come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for
them. Heb. 7:24, 25.
Every provision has been made for our infirmities, every encouragement
offered us to come to Christ.
Christ offered up His broken body to purchase back God's heritage, to
give man another trial. . . . By His spotless life, His obedience, His
death on the cross of Calvary, Christ interceded for the lost race. And
now, not as a mere petitioner does the Captain of our salvation
intercede for us, but as a Conqueror claiming His victory. His offering
is complete, and as our Intercessor He executes His self-appointed work,
holding before God the censer containing His own spotless merits and the
prayers, confessions, and thanksgiving of His people. Perfumed with the
fragrance of His righteousness, these ascend to God as a sweet savor.
The offering is wholly acceptable, and pardon covers all transgression.
Christ has pledged Himself to be our substitute and surety, and He
neglects no one. He who could not see human beings exposed to eternal
ruin without pouring out His soul unto death in their behalf, will look
with pity and compassion upon every soul who realizes that he cannot
save himself.
He will look upon no trembling suppliant without raising him up. He who
through His own atonement provided for man an infinite fund of moral
power, will not fail to employ this power in our behalf. We may take our
sins and sorrows to His feet; for He loves us. His every look and word
invites our confidence. He will shape and mold our characters according
to His own will.
In the whole satanic force there is not power to overcome one soul who
in simple trust casts himself on Christ. "He giveth power to the faint;
and to them that have no might he increaseth strength." Isa. 40:29.
