325. Saved to the Uttermost
Hebrews 7:25a Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him,…
Jesus Christ is able to, and He does, save us to the uttermost. The promise is that we are saved to the uttermost when we believe: coming to God by Christ = faith. Those who believe in Him are saved. “To the uttermost” is absolute, total, final, saved from everything bad and saved for everything good.
If we can think of anything we need to be saved from, we are saved from it: we are saved from doubt, worry, fear, anxiety, guilt, shame, inferiority, imperfection, mistakes, errors, failure, missing out, coming short, troubles, threats, disasters, and everything bad or anything we construe to be bad. In short, we are saved from evil; we are safe from the three Enemies: Sin, Death, and the Devil, which are trying to steal, kill and destroy with eternal death, hell, and damnation. We are not physically saved from bad things happening to us, but we are saved from the evil of it. The evil of pain, suffering, and bad things will not hold us and entrap us: we will escape and be delivered from being kept in the evil of a thing. Believe the promise: Christ is able to save to the uttermost. So we pray, “Deliver us from evil.”
If we can think of anything we need to be saved for, we are saved for it: we are saved for a full, abundant and eternal life, for joy, bliss and happiness, for love, forgiveness and acceptance, for peace, safety and security, for comfort, strength and hope, for provision, protection and nourishment of body and soul, for contentment, serenity and calm, for the satisfaction of knowing I have everything that has to do with the support and needs of body and soul. In short, we are saved for everything good. God promises to always be there to give what we need along with the faith to see and receive the good with thanksgiving. Jesus saves to the uttermost. So we pray, “Give us this day our daily bread,” and “Thy kingdom come.”
