One New England clothing retailer guarantees 100% satisfaction on every product it sells, no matter how long you’ve owned it. Yet experience shows that even warranties that promise so-called lifetime replacement will often have requirements that keep you from getting what you thought you had. But the writer of the book of Hebrews assures us that the salvation God gives us is based upon an unchanging truth. God gave His Son to offer His life as an atoning sacrifice which lasts forever. That is possible because in rising from the dead, Christ now serves as our High Priest. He lives forever to plead our cause with God the Father. We read in Hebrews 10: “Our High Priest offered himself to God as a single sacrifice for sins, good for all time. Then he sat down in the place of honor at God’s right hand… For by that one offering he forever made perfect those who are being made holy.” The salvation God offers to the world boggles the mind. In it, God provides a way of our becoming reconciled to him that we could never even conceive of, much less be able to pull off. It’s a gift of His love, and it only requires that we repent of our sins and accept it.
