“Jesus lives forever! His priesthood is permanent and powerful, and he completely saves those who come to God through him. For his sacrifice for them was perfect and once-and-for-all. Jesus never stops interceding for those he came to save, they are un-snatch-able from his hand and will all make it Home.” (Conflation of Heb.7:24-25, Heb.10:10, Jn.10:28, Phil.1:6)
Lord Jesus, there is no Savior like you because there is no other Savior, period. You don’t save us 7%, 27% or 77% of the way. You don’t save us provisionally—long enough for us to prove we’re worthy of your grace. You don’t save us with an “out clause”—in case we end up doing stuff you didn’t see coming. You save us completely—without contingencies, qualifiers, or fine print.
Because of what you’ve done for us, we are 100% forgiven, 100% robed in your perfect righteousness, 100% seen, known, and loved. All your prayers for us are perfect, Jesus, and each of them is being answered in Abba’s perfect timing, in a perfect way, for eternal purposes. Though Satan’s attacks are endless, your care for us is 10,000 times more relentless. You don’t just have our “backs,” but our whole being and the entire cosmos.
With you as our life, death has become gain (Phil.1:21). And if we could see ourselves as we will be in eternity (1Jn.3:1-3), we’d be undone with joy, overcome with awe, and filled with hope. Jesus may all this Gospel-goodness shrink our fears, anxieties, and worries in the month of July. Free us—more than ever, to live and love to your glory, all the way Home. So Very Amen.
