GOSPEL NUGGET #245

Heb 7:25 ...He is...able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him...

We see two things here: a) The Savior's Ability and b) The Savior's Efficiency 

* The Savior's Ability: "He is...able to save to the uttermost"

The word "uttermost" could also be translated as completely or fully to the very end. The Savior is able to save to the uttermost, completely, fully to the very end. 

There is no sin so dark, guilt so great, force too strong, a thing so big, a height so high, a pit so deep, a difficulty so insurmountable that can hinder, oppose and thwart the saving ability of the Lord Jesus. 

In all these things, He is able to save completely, fully, to the very end, to the uttermost. He is not a Savior who saves at the beginning and then leaves you mid-way, unable to carry it out to the very end. No, He is a Savior who is able to save to the uttermost, completely, fully to the very end. What He begins, He is able to finish and complete. 

* The Savior's Efficiency: "...He is...able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him..."

He is able to save sinners but only those sinners who come to God through Him in faith. The sinner's sole responsibility is to come to the able Savior in faith. His efficiency comes into work if you put your trust in Him. 

He is completely able. Are you willing?
