    Uttermost, Completely, Forever

    by TerryLema March 9, 2026

    Hebrews 7:25 NKJV: “Therefore [Jesus] is also able to save to the UTTERMOST those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.”

    Hebrews 7:25 NIV: “Therefore [Jesus] is able to save COMPLETELY those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.”

    Hebrews 7:25 NLT: “Therefore [Jesus] is able, ONCE AND FOREVER, to save those who come to God through him. He lives forever to intercede with God on their behalf.”

    It’s “panteles” and it conveys a sense of absolute completeness—nothing lacking, nothing partial, nothing left to be added.

    The denomination that I grew up in left me with the impression that Jesus made the down payment on my salvation and left the installments up to me. But our salvation in Christ lacks nothing. There is nothing missing, nothing I can add to it. It is all mine, completely forever mine by faith.

    Meditate on that today. What do we have in this life that is utterly complete forever? Everything in this life (apart from God) is subject to change, corruption, and destruction. But God … BUT GOD … through His Son … provides salvation … to the uttermost, complete, and forever!

    Glory to God. Amen & Amen
