Because of
this oath [see verses 20-21], Jesus has become the guarantor of a better
covenant. Now there have been many of those priests, since death
prevented them from continuing in office; but because Jesus lives
forever, he has a permanent priesthood. Therefore he is able to save
completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to
intercede for them.
Therefore he is able to save completely
John 3:17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
Acts 16:31 They replied, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved--you and your household."
1 Corinthians 1:20-21 Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.
1 Timothy 2:3-4 This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.
Titus 3:4-5a But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy.
those who come to God through him
Hebrews 7:18-19 The former regulation is set aside because it was weak and useless (for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.
because he always lives to intercede for them
Romans 8:34 Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died--more than that, who was raised to life--is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.
