Breath in me, O Holy Spirit, that my thoughts may all be holy. Act in me, O Holy Spirit, that my work, too, may be holy. Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit, that I love but what is holy. Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit, to defend all that is holy. Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit, that I always may be holy.

What made that moment unique of course, is that I met someone who I couldn’t see, who died, and yet was somehow tangibly present in that room, in my heart, and in my mind.

11 Therefore, if perfection were through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need was there that another priest should rise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not be called according to the order of Aaron? …

“The Christian that is first and foremost committed to the mission of Jesus Chris is a tremendous threat to the kingdom of darkness.”

Before the Law of Moses and the Levitical priesthood, God revealed His ultimate plan for an eternal priesthood through the Old Testament figure of Melchizedek. Jesus was the ultimate fulfillment of a priest who was outside the legal requirements of the law and the limitations of a flawed human priest.
Hebrews 7:1-10

Regarding the security of our salvation, Jesus will never forget us, never lie to us, and never break His promise. Therefore, we must remain steadfast in our faith and service to Christ until we see Him face-to-face.
Hebrews 6:9-20
