Wouldn’t it be nice to know you had a guarantee on life. I know as a shopper I always appreciate the 100% Guarantee on a product. Unfortunately, I do not always receive a 100% Guarantee. About five years ago, I received a birthday gift for an electronic water bottle purification unit. It had a lifetime guarantee of working. The problem came one day about a year ago when I tried charging the batteries on the unit and it would not accept a charge. I called the company asking for a replacement. They were no longer producing the unit so their replacement was a straw! It basically was a filtered straw that you had to suck on to get the water out of the bottle. Needless to say I was very disappointed in the guarantee. Today’s scripture is from Hebrews 7:23-25.

23 Now there have been many of those priests, since death prevented them from continuing in office; 24 but because Jesus lives forever, he has a permanent priesthood. 25 Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.

Jesus is always there for you. His promises are not 80% true nor a substitute of the original. We may not always understand the twists or turns of life but his promise is true to save completely. The work done at the cross two thousand years ago does not need to be repeated. It was the final act of obedience to bridge the gap so that now we have the righteousness of Christ. There is nothing extra that needs to be done. Even better than a 100% Guarantee is the 100% Call Line, too. Jesus is always interceding for us to the Father. When you don’t know what to do or what to pray Jesus is speaking to the Father on your behalf. You are now a child of God and that means your life counts in a bigger plan of the work God is doing in this world. Guarantees come and go on earth but there is one guarantee written in blood and backed by heaven. This guarantee states; If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 100% Guaranteed!
