Hebrews 7:25

Hebrews 7:25

Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He lives forever to make intercession for them.

Three points:

1. He is also able

The "He" here is the Lord Jesus. The word "able" refers to the ability, power, and strength to do something. I am able to walk; I am not able to fly. Ephesians 3:20 Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us.

2. Save to the uttermost

Uttermost is the farthest reach possible. Save is to deliver. He is able to deliver us from evil, from falling, from denying Christ. Thank you Lord Jesus for your ability to do this. It is spiritual things that He saves us from. There may be a deliverance from things in this life, but mainly it is talking about spiritual things as our salvation.

3. Intercession

Intercession is prayer; it is asking for God to help another. The Lord Jesus prays for us. He is praying for you now. He prays for our faith to be strong. He is a High Priest that never dies, never gets tired, never gets discouraged. Romans 8:34 Who is he that condemns? It is Christ that died, yes rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. 1 John 2:1 My little children, I am writing these things to you in order that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous one.
