Perfection!

For Wednesday, September 10, 2025:

Hebrews 10:7 NLT: “Jesus said, ‘Look, I have come to do your will, O God—as is written about me in the Scriptures.’”

Obedience is what’s required. King Saul offered sacrifices to God, but failed to obey. His successor, David, also had shortcomings, but he prophesied the perfectly obedient one: Jesus! One way we can identify Jesus as the Messiah is in how he fulfills prophesies.

Some people didn’t do too well on the “Obedience-to-God” test, but Jesus scored 100%! When it’s time for us to enter the life after this life, loyal believers can count Jesus’ score as their own. Although we could never be perfect, Jesus has wiped away the sin-record of the faithful. He’s doing FOR us what we could never do on our own. So when it’s time to enter heaven, thank God we signed up for the Jesus team! He has already prepared a place for us!

Jesus cancelled the first covenant in order to put the second into effect. God’s will is for us to be made holy by the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all time! No need for us to do anything further. The work has been done FOR us! Thank you, Jesus!
