Arise, my soul, arise

h. Able to Save to the Uttermost Those Who Come Forward to God through Him, Seeing He Is Always Living to Intercede for Them

Hebrews 7:25 tells us that Christ “is able to save to the uttermost those who come forward to God through Him, since He lives always to intercede for them. ” Here the expression to the uttermost means “completely, entirely, perfectly, to the end, and for eternity. ” This indicates that Christ as our High Priest is able to save to the fullest extent, that is, to save in every kind of situation and condition.

He is able to save to the uttermost those who come forward to God through Him, since He lives always to intercede for us. Christ as our High Priest undertakes our case by interceding for us. He appears before God on our behalf and prays for us that we may be saved and brought fully into God’s eternal purpose. We should believe that Christ is always interceding for us. By interceding for us, He takes care of us. He can take care of us much better than we could ever take care of ourselves. Most of the time we are foolish in the way that we care for ourselves. Instead of trying to take care of ourselves by our own efforts, we should simply give ourselves to Him and rest, knowing that He is always caring for us.

(1) Being Able to Save to the Uttermost

Verse 25 tells us that Christ is able to save to the uttermost. Because He lives forever without any change, Christ is able to save us to the uttermost in extent, in time, and in space. Hence, His salvation reaches to the uttermost.

Christ can save us to the uttermost because He is living not only in the heavens but also within us. While He is living in the heavens, He is transmitting Himself into us. He is living in the heavens to intercede for us and take care of our case, but the reality of this is transmitted into our spirit by His Spirit. We must learn to see this heavenly vision and enjoy our High Priest. Then we will receive mercy and find grace at the throne of grace for timely help. We will be delivered and saved to the uttermost. This is the work of our divine High Priest.

Message 375 (LSM)

Arise my soul! Yes, wake up arise! I am no longer bothered by past sins. No matter what they are. I see the blood it cleansed me and is cleansing me. It is sprinkled before the throne. Now God only sees his son. I can come boldly to him. Oh we must see the blood. It speaks for us. It speaks volumes and covers all. I’m reconciled and pardoned. I am a child of God!

I love how we have the blood that speaks for us! "In confidence" we can draw near to our Father God because of the precious redeeming blood of His Son! This is a wonderful fact I can hold on to!

Amen! because of His all-redeeming love, His precious blood shed for us, and His five wounds, now we are reconciled to God, and we have the confidence, boldness and access to draw near to the Father. He is also our eternal Surety, with His blood speaking better things for us, making sure that we enjoy everu bequest of the better covenant!! Hallelujah!!!

I read from Galatians 2 today and as I finished, a part of this song came to me "his blood was shed for all our race and sprinkled now the throne of grace" so I looked it up. Such a beautiful hymn, the gospel in a nutshell!!

To God I’m reconciled,
His pardoning voice I hear;
He owns me for His child,
I can no longer fear.
With confidence I now draw nigh,
And Father, Abba, Father, cry.

Abba Father!

Charles Wesley was the youngest of three sons of Samuel Wesley. He was born at Epworth Rectory December 18, 1708. His brothers were Samuel and John Wesley. The father and brothers were all hymn writers , although Charles surpasses them all by having written around 7, 000!

The three sons were brought up by a godly mother. One time she wrote to Charles about the Savior: “O my dear Charles, when I consider the dignity of His person, the perfectness of His purity, the greatness of His sufferings, but above all His boundless love, I am astonished and utterly confounded, I am lost in thought. I fall into nothing before Him. ”

A wealthy man wanted to adopt Charles and make him his heir; but he declined. The man that accepted became great in society and was given the title of earl.

In 1737 he met Count Zinzendorf who led him to Christ as his Savior. Actually, Mrs. Turner, a Moravian woman brought him to rest upon Christ after a night of soul searching and much agonizing. She said to him, “ In the name of Jesus of Nazareth, arise, and believe. ” He responded, “I believe, I believe! ” and then wrote:

“ O for a thousand tongues to sing
My great Redeemer’s praise,
The glories of my God and King,
The triumphs of His grace! ”

At another time, he and another preacher were assailed by a mob, throwing stones at them and causing them to flee for shelter. Charles then composed the hymn,

“ Jesus, lover of my soul,
Let me to Thy bosom fly,
While the nearer waters roll,
While the tempest still is high;
Hide me, O my Savior, hide
Till the storm of life is past.
Leave, O leave me not alone,
Still support and comfort me.
Cover my defenseless head
With the shadow of Thy wing. ”

On April 8, 1749 he married Miss Sarah Gwynne who accompanied him on his evangelistic tours. He never left the Church of England. When he passed on to be with the Lord on March 29, 1788 he was buried as he had requested in Marylebone churchyard.
