"He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him." - Hebrews 7:25.

The reason is assigned and it is unanswerable: - " He ever liveth to make intercession for them." He lives forever, clothed with all the power derived from his propitiatory death, and animated by the same heart of love that led him to die; he lives in the very place where we most need him; he is there perpetually in our "behalf". He was not more truly on the earth for us than he is in heaven for us, and we may confidently expect to be saved unto the uttermost. Once we had no access to God. There were no invitations for us, no promises. He saved us from that fearful condition. He has endowed us with liberty to draw nigh to God. He has given us his Holy Spirit, - has shed abroad the love of God in our hearts, - has changed our hearts; overcome our sins; and bound us to himself by indissoluble bonds. But all this is scarcely more than a beginning. We have received but an installment. He is able to do vastly more than he has done. He is able to save us from all moral weakness, so that we may look serenely and fearlessly on all temptations, on all dangers that beset us.

Is there some infirmity in yourself, some difficulty out of yourself, that seems like a barrier in the way of your progress? He is able to remove this. Have you been so often overcome by the adversary, that you are ready to despair? Take care, and do not disparage the ability of him that is with you to succor you. Does some duty seem tremendous and altogether beyond your force? He is able. Has he done so great things for you that you are ashamed to ask him for more? He requires you to ask until you be saved to the uttermost. Do you shrink from death? Shrink not from the remaining salvation. You must be saved from this present inglorious and inadequate life; from a Church sadly imperfect to a Church clothed in spotless purity; from a mortal and corruptible existence to an immortal incorruptible one. You must be brought to the angels; to the seraphim; to the glorified Son of God; to the throne where the river of the water of life takes its rise.
