The Forever Priesthood

Pastor Chad preaches on Hebrews chapter 7 to establish the superiority of Christ's priesthood over the Old Testament Levitical priesthood. He emphasizes that salvation cannot be lost because it depends entirely on Christ's perfect work, not human effort. Through the mysterious figure of Melchizedek, who predates the Levitical priesthood, we see a foreshadowing of Jesus as our eternal High Priest. The law was never meant to make us perfect but to reveal our imperfection and need for a Savior. The climax of this centers on Hebrews 7:25, revealing that Jesus not only saves us completely but also continually intercedes for us before God's throne. This ongoing intercession is the foundation of our confidence in salvation—not our ability to follow rules or maintain our own righteousness, but Christ's eternal advocacy on our behalf.
