“For by one offering He hath perfected forever them that are sanctified (set apart)” (Hebrews 10:14).
At the end of another year, we are once again reminded of our Lord’s goodness to us, and also of how things are changing rapidly in this world. Yesterday we were reminded that time did not always exist, nor will it exist forever. Eventually there will be only eternity, rolling on and on.
However, we can be thankful for those things that do not change. If eternity will go on and on forever, so will the value of the work of Christ. Our salvation was perfected at the cross, and our verse today states that we are perfected forever. What does this mean? It means that nothing can change our perfect position before God, because it does not depend on time, or on us, but rather on the finished work of Christ.
A few days ago I tried to sign into a website, and was informed that my password had expired. I had to create a new one. There was nothing wrong with my old password; they just wanted me to have a new one. But our salvation will never expire; it is good for all eternity.
