Hebrews 4:14 seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.
As we know there are some things that cannot be changed, they’re fixed by God and nothing and no-one can alter them. One of those things is the word of God that stands forever. (Isaiah 40:8, 1 Peter 1:25)
Another truth that can never be changed is the Victory Jesus won for us at the Cross. There is no symptom, no disease, no circumstance which is bigger than the victory Jesus won. It towers over history forever. It’s the day, the event, that changed everything for the world and mankind forever.
Our part is to keep a strong hold of our confession of faith in all we know and believe about Jesus and His finished work. When our verse says ‘hold fast’ it shows something or someone is trying to get us to let go, trying to tug it out of us so we give in or give up. I imagine it a bit like a tug of war with Satan at the other end of the rope. The good news is he has already been defeated and we now have a Great High Priest who is holding on to our end of the rope with us.
He has already won the victory, so as long as we keep holding on to Him, as long as we keep trusting in His victory over all the works of the devil, and we keep His Word, that stands forever, coming out our mouths He will make sure we will not be defeated.
Scripture reminds us over and over again that we are on the winning side. We’ve read the back of the Book - We win!
The writer of Hebrews is saying to keep holding on to that truth no matter what, because with our Great High Priest who was tempted in every way just like us and who sympathises and understands us,(Heb.4:15) we will overcome through Him!😊
Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.
