Jesus Our Intercessor
in Heaven
Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ
that died, yea rather, that is risen
again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession
for us. Romans
8:34
Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers
of the heavenly calling, consider the
Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus... Hebrews 3:1
Neither by the blood of goats and
calves, but by his own blood he entered
in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
Hebrews 9: 12
Wherefore in all things it behoved
him to be made like unto his brethren,
that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining
to
God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour
them that are tempted. Hebrews 2:17, 18
Seeing then that we have a great high
priest, that is passed into the heavens,
Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
For we have not an high priest which
cannot be touched with the feeling of
our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without
sin.
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain
mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 4: 14-16
By so much was Jesus made a surety
of a better testament...
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. For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless,
undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens...
Hebrews 7: 22, 25, 26
Now of the things which we have spoken
this is the sum:
We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne
of the Majesty in the heavens; A minister of the sanctuary,
and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.
Hebrews 8:1, 2
For by one offering he hath perfected
for ever them that are sanctified.
Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said
before, This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days,
saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds
will
I write them; And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
Hebrews 10:14-18
Having therefore, brethren, boldness
to enter into the holiest by the blood
of Jesus, By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us,
through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
And having an high priest
over the house of God; Let us draw near with a true heart
in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled
from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering;
(for he is faithful that promised)...
Hebrews 10: 19-23
Confidence and Assurance
I will greatly rejoice in the LORD,
my soul shall be joyful in my God; for
he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with
the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments,
and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels. Isaiah 61:10
There is therefore now no condemnation
to them which are in Christ Jesus,
who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Romans
8:1
For God hath not given us the spirit
of fear; but of power, and of love, and
of a sound mind. 2
Timothy 1: 7
Take heed, brethren, lest there
be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief,
in departing from the living God.
But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you
be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
For we are made partakers
of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the
end;
Hebrews 3: 12-14
Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself,
and God, even our Father, which hath
loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through
grace, Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.
2 Thessalonians 2: 16, 17
Cast not away therefore your confidence,
which hath great recompence of
reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will
of God, ye might receive the promise. For yet a little while, and he
that shall come will come, and will not tarry.
Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back,
my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
But we are not of them who draw
back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
Hebrews 10: 35-39
...God hath not appointed us to wrath,
but to obtain salvation
by our Lord Jesus Christ, Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep,
we should live together with him. Wherefore comfort yourselves together,
and edify one another, even as also ye do. 1 Thessalonians 5: 9-11
According to the eternal purpose which
he [God, the Father] purposed
in Christ Jesus our Lord: In whom we have boldness and access
with confidence by the faith of him. Ephesians
3: 11, 12
... I [will] sprinkle clean water
upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all
your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.
A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you:
and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give
you
an heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk
in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. And ye shall
dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people,
and I will be your God. I will also save you from all your uncleannesses...
Ezekiel 36:25-29
Take with you words, and turn to
the LORD: say unto him, Take away
all iniquity, and receive us graciously:
So will we render the calves
of our lips... I will heal their backsliding,
I will love them freely,
for mine anger is turned away from him.
Hosea 14:2, 4
Come now, and let us reason together,
saith the LORD: though your sins
be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like
crimson, they shall be as wool. If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat
the good of the land: Isaiah 1: 18, 19
And I said, My strength and my
hope is perished from the LORD:
Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.
My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me.
This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.
It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed,
because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning:
great is thy faithfulness. The LORD is my portion, saith my soul;
therefore will I hope in him. The LORD is good unto them that wait
for him, to the soul that seeketh him.
It is good that a man should
both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.
Lamentations 3:18-26
Being confident of this very thing,
that he which hath begun
a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
Philippians 1:6
Grace be with all them that love
our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.
Ephesians 6:24
Promises, Promises
Let that therefore abide in you, which
ye have heard from the beginning.
If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye
also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.
And this is the promise
that he hath promised us, even eternal life. 1
John 2: 24, 25
And it shall come to pass in the
last days, saith God, I will pour out of my
Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
and
your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days
of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath;
blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that
great and notable day of the Lord come:
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the
Lord
shall be saved. Acts
2: 17-21
1If we confess our sins, he is
faithful and just to forgive us our sins,
and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. John
1:9
He that believeth and is baptized
shall be saved... Mark 16: 16
Jesus also added:
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them,
and they follow me:
And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish,
neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all;
and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
John 10: 27-29
Then said Jesus to those Jews which
believed on him, If ye continue in
my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
And ye shall know the truth, and
the truth shall make you free...
If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
John 8:31, 32, 36
God said:
This people have I formed for myself;
they shall shew forth my praise...
I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake,
and will not remember thy sins. Isaiah 43:21, 25
For I know the thoughts that I think
toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts
of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will
hearken unto you.
And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all
your heart. Jeremiah
29: 11-13
For all the promises of God in
him are yea, and in him Amen,
unto the glory of God by us. Now he which stablisheth us with you
in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God;
Who hath also sealed us,
and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts. 2 Corinthians 1: 20-22
And many other signs truly did
Jesus in the presence of his disciples,
which are not written in this book: But these are written, that ye might
believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing
ye might have life through his name.
John 20:30, 31
And he that sat upon the throne said,
Behold, I make all things new.
And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning
and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain
of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things;
and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. Revelation 21:5-7
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace,
whose mind is stayed on thee:
because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the LORD for ever:
for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength... Isaiah 26:3, 4
Follow peace with all men, and holiness,
without which no man shall
see the Lord: Hebrews
12:14
So that ye come behind in no gift;
waiting for the coming of our Lord
Jesus Christ: Who shall also confirm you unto the end,
that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son
Jesus Christ our Lord. 1 Corinthians 1 :7-9
But as many as received him, to
them gave he power to become
the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: John 1:12
Yet a little while, and the world
seeth me no more; but ye see me:
because I live, ye shall live also.
John 14:19
The Security of Eternal Life:
What God Wants You
to Understand...
... God;
Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling,
not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace,
which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
... is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ,
who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light
through the gospel: 2 Timothy 1: 8-10
If we receive the witness of men,
the witness of God is greater:
for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.
He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself:
he that believeth not God hath made him a liar;
because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
And this is the record, that God
hath given to us eternal life,
and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life;
and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
These things have I written unto you that believe
on the name of the Son of redemption.
Ephesians 4:30
Blessed be the God and Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ,
which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again
unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled,
and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation
ready to be revealed in the last time. 1
Peter 1:3-5
He that believeth on the Son hath
everlasting life:
and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life;
but the wrath of God abideth on him.
John 3:36
All that the Father giveth me shall
come to me;
and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will,
but the will of him that sent me.
And this is the Father's will which hath sent me,
that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing,
but should raise it up again at the last day.
And this is the will of him that sent me,
that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him,
may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
John 6:37-40
No man can come to me,
except the Father which hath sent me draw him:
and I will raise him up at the last day.
It is written in the prophets,
And they shall be all taught of God.
Every man therefore that hath heard,
and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.
Verily, verily, I say unto you,
He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. John
6:44, 47
And that he died for all, that
they which live
should not henceforth live unto themselves,
but unto him which died for them, and rose again...
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature:
old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
2 Corinthians 5:15, 17
What Should be Said
Regarding this Evidence?
Seeing then that we have
such hope, we use great plainness of speech:
2 Corinthians 3:12
But the word of the Lord
endureth for ever. And this is the word
which by the gospel is preached unto you.
Peter 1:25
... the Spirit and the
bride say, Come.
And let him that heareth say, Come.
And let him that is athirst come.
And whosoever will,
let him take the water of life freely.
Revelation 22:17
...we have this treasure
in earthen vessels,
that the excellency of the power may be of God,
and not of us.
2 Corinthians 4:7
How shall we escape, if we neglect
so great salvation...?
Hebrews 2:3
... thanks be to God, which
giveth us the victory
through our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 15 :57
Thanks be unto God for
his unspeakable gift.
2 Corinthians 9:15
Amen...
