“I know that my Redeemer lives.”

If while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.—He holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues forever. Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.

“Because I live, you also will live.”—If in this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied. But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.

“And a Redeemer will come to Zion, to those in Jacob who turn from transgression,” declares the Lord.—We have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace.—You were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot.

Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits.

“Take care then how you hear.”—Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom.—In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one.

Great peace have those who love your law; nothing can make them stumble. How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Through your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way.

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path…. I have more understanding than all my teachers, for your testimonies are my meditation.
