Hebrews: Our Great High Priest (4:14-16)
Because Jesus is our great high priest, who has experienced the life we live, we can confidently come to God for his grace and mercy.
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. (2 Cor. 4:7 NIV)
Because Jesus is our great high priest, who has experienced the life we live, we can confidently come to God for his grace and mercy.
God saved us, and called us to live a holy life. And it is by his grace and purpose. The call to holiness is a privilege he gives us.
The Bible is filled with references to God’s grace. But just what is grace? Unmerited favor begins to describe it. But grace is much more than that.
It is impossible to fully describe the gift of God’s grace to us. It is indescribable, reaching into every part of our lives. From beginning to end.
Even when I was dead, God raised me up with Christ. Why? To demonstrate the incomparable riches of his grace to me throughout eternity. Amazing!
I was lost in sin. But God, in his mercy, reached out to me with his offer of salvation and made me alive with Christ. Saved by God’s grace.
