Hebrews7:25

25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost, that come unto God by him , seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them .

This Inference proves his Eminency in Office above Aaron's Order by the Efficacy of it; for he is Possessor of a supernatural divine Power which is able to save to perfection, to the full, to all ends from Sin, in its Guilt, Stain and Power; from its Consequents, the Curse, and Wrath, and eternal Death. What neither our selves, nor others could do for us, he is only able, and as willing as able to set us in a safe, happy, blessed and glorious State for ever, Rom. 5.9, 10, 11, 17.

All such who will come to God by him, as their High Priest, and no other, praying for Remission of Sins for his sake and merit, by Faith in his Blood, renouncing self, expecting the Mercy of God to flow in him to them, subjecting themselves entirely to him, and depending on him to present them unto God their end, without Spot or Blemish, or any such thing, and to make them blessed in the enjoyment of him for ever. This is his Work, Iohn 6.35, to 41. 1 Pet. 3.18.

Since he always exists and lives an High Priest for the good of those who wait on him, having life in himself, and quickning them, comp. Rom. 8.6. And as their Advocate, 1 Iohn. 2.1, 2. answereth all Charges against them, suing for those penitent Believers, and pleading for all promised them by the Father in him. He sitting at God's Right-Hand must ever be in his presence, and appears as the general Representative of his, and useth all his Interest with the Supreme Law-giver, Judge, and Governour, for them; See ch. 9.24. as it was foretold he should, Isa. 53.12. even for them who cannot plead their own Cause through Guiltiness, or Weakness; he will manage it for all of them who believe in him, and apply themselves to God by him, attoning him for their sins by his Sacrifice, perfuming Duties and Person by the Insence of his Merits, and presenting them to God, answering in Heaven his Type on Earth, Exod. 30.1, to 10. comp. Rev. 8.3, 4. Rom. 8.31, to 36.
