Christ's saving work is complete and ongoing. He saves "to the uttermost," meaning His sacrifice covers every sin—past, present, and future—and His intercession at the Father's throne continues without end. Our salvation is secure, not because of our strength or faithfulness, but because Christ is always interceding for us. The phrase "to the uttermost" means completely, fully, permanently. There are no limits to Christ's saving power. He can save anyone who comes to God through Him, regardless of how deep their sin or how far they have fallen.

Saul of Tarsus, later known as the apostle Paul, stands as the supreme example of salvation to the uttermost. Before his conversion, Saul was the chief persecutor of Christians. He approved of Stephen's stoning, dragged believers from their homes, and sought to destroy the church. He was "breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord" (Acts 9:1). By human standards, Saul was beyond redemption—a religious terrorist whose hands were stained with the blood of martyrs. Yet on the road to Damascus, Christ intercepted him with blinding light and a penetrating question: "Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?" In that moment, the chief persecutor became the chief apostle. God transformed him so completely that he wrote more than half the New Testament and planted churches across the Roman Empire. Paul never forgot the depth from which he had been raised, calling himself "the chief of sinners" (1 Timothy 1:15). His transformation proves that Christ can save to the uttermost—there are no lost causes in the eyes of Jesus.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank You that Your saving power reaches to the uttermost. You can save anyone, transform anyone, use anyone. Give us faith to believe that no one is beyond Your reach. Continue to intercede for us at the Father's right hand. Amen.
