1001 耶穌是我們的保證

“主起了誓,決不後悔,你是永遠為祭司。”既是起誓立的,耶穌就作了更美之約的中保。……這位既是永遠常存的,他祭司的職任就長久不更換。 凡靠着他進到神面前的人,他都能拯救到底;因為他是長遠活着,替他們祈求。 

希伯來書 7:21b-22, 24-25

耶穌是我們的保證。祂是神的誓言,我們法律上的擔保,就是與神新的約定將會應驗。我們能有確信、把握、並倚靠耶穌的能力來潔凈我們、且吸引我們靠近神。耶穌說……

你所做的,沒有什麼可以使你與我對你的愛隔離。不要繼續在你的罪中,但要強烈地恨惡它。我的愛就像一把鋒利的刀,切掉腐爛,保存好的果子……

1001 JESUS is our SURETY

JESUS is our SURETY.  He is God’s pledge, our legal assurance that the new agreement with God will be fulfilled.  We can have confidence, certainty, and depend on the ability of Jesus to cleanse us and draw us close to God.  JESUS says…

Nothing you have ever done can separate you from My love for you.  Do not continue in your sin, but hate it with passion.  My love is like a sharp knife which cuts away the rottenness to release and preserve the good fruit…

“….The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Mel-chis-ed-ed: By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament… 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.”

Hebrews 7:21b-22, 24-25, KJV
