Fantastic list, metmom. Here’s a couple additions from Hebrews:
“The former priests, on the one hand, existed in greater numbers because they were PREVENTED by death from continuing, but Jesus, on the other hand, because He continues forever, holds His priesthood PERMANENTLY. Therefore He is able also to save FOREVER those who draw near to God through Him, since He ALWAYS LIVES to make intercession for them.”—7:23-25
“So when God desired to show MORE CONVINCINGLY to the heirs of the promise the UNCHANGEABLE CHARACTER of his purpose, he guaranteed it with an oath, so that by two UNCHANGEABLE things, in which it is IMPOSSIBLEfor GOD to LIE, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us. We have this as a SURE and STEADFAST anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain, where Jesus HAS GONE as a forerunner ON OUR BEHALF, having become a high priest FOREVER after the order of Melchizedek.”—6:17-20
And let all the people say Amen! Praise the LORD.
Thank you.
