Hebrews 7:25-28

By him; as their high-priest, not venturing before God in their own name. Became us; was needed by us.

Made higher than the heavens; where he ministers before God. See chap Heb 8:1,2,4; 9:24. This he did once; made a full and complete atonement, so that no further sacrifice for sin would ever be needed. Consecrated; or perfected as a High-priest. Compare chap Heb 2:10; 6:9. Christ is in all respects such a Deliverer as sinners need. None perish for want of an all-sufficient and willing Saviour, nor because a way of salvation is not opened, nor because God does not desire their salvation; but if any who know the gospel perish, it is because they willfully and perseveringly refuse to accept its gracious offers.
