VER. 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.
IN this verse the Apostle brings his whole preceding Mysterious discourse unto an Issue, in the Application of it unto the Faith and Comfort of the Church. It was not his Design merely to open Mysterious Truths in the notion of them; Nor only to prove the Glory and preeminence of the Gospel Church state, above that of the same Church, under Mosaical Institutions, on the Account of the Priesthood of Christ: But his principal Design was, to demonstrate the Spiritual and Eternal Advantages of all true Believers by these things. The sum of what he intends, he proposeth in this verse, and afterwards enlargeth on unto the end of the Chapter. What Believers ought to seek in, and what they may expect from this blessed glorious Priesthood, is that which he now undertakes to declare. In like manner on all occasions he manifests that the end of God in the whole Mystery of his Grace by Jesus Christ, and Institutions of the Gospel, is the Salvation of his Elect unto the praise of the Glory of his Grace.
