Totally!

Therefore He is able also to save forever (completely, perfectly, for eternity) those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to intercede and intervene on their behalf [with God]. HEBREWS 7:25 AMP

As I read today's extract, one thing that strikes me is an understanding of who God is and what he can do, as well as man's response to his understanding of God's ability. The verse before today's extract talks about the priesthood of Jesus, and the fact that his service is eternal. He isn't like the priests of old, who had a fixed term, and had to pass on the torch after physical death. Jesus lives forever and his service continues for as long as life remains. His sacrifice is good for all time, and its benefits are there for as many as would take it.

This brings me to the other part: man's bit. I look again at today's extract. What isn't in doubt is the fact that God is all powerful; the problem is whether I can trust my life into his hands. All through eternity, that question has been answered through the lives of the people we read about. We see men like Jabez, taking his case to God and receiving a destiny different from what his own parents established. We also see men like King Saul, good start, but a terrible end, as he sought to do things his own way.

Whichever way you look at it, two things are clear: God has got his own part to play, man has got his own part to play. God is able to save, and his power is not in doubt. In fact, there is nothing man can do or refuse to do that will reduce the efficacy of the power of God. His plans are eternal in scope, and he desires to make impact in the lives of men. But men must come to him through the means he has provided, as indicated in today's extract, which is through the One whose blood makes a way. You can't choose to come; you can't find your own way even if you tried hard. The only way has been clearly stated, and I owe it to my eternal destiny to find that way and approach God, while I still have time.

Jesus keeps interceding, he keeps speaking to God on our behalf. That is his lifelong assignment. His actions are not just for this side of eternity alone, but for all of life, both now and the one to come. Don't settle for anything that only secures you for the now, and does nothing for your eternal security. Don't settle for the temporary and the temporal; make sure that the eternal question is also answered. The only answer you need has already been provided in the Son, Jesus. His time of favour is here.
