All that I have been saying may seem complex and involved. This much we must understand: Jesus our Lord, God's Christ and our Savior, lives forevermore! As God is timeless and ageless, so also is Jesus Christ.
And Jesus lives to intercede for us! His eternal interest is to be our surety. We sing of it with faith and joy: "Before the throne my Surety stands; My name is written on His hands." And then we continue with the rest of those stirring words from the vision and heart of Charles Wesley:
The Father hears Him pray, His dear anointed One; He cannot turn away
The presence of His Son. His Spirit answers to the blood And tells me I am born of God.
It is Christ's unfailing intercession that makes it possible for us to tell each other that we believe in the security of the saints of God. We believe there is a place of security, not because there was some technicality that John Calvin might have advanced, but because of the high priestly intercession of the eternal One who cannot die. Day and night He offers our names before the Father in heaven. No matter how weak we may be, we are kept because Jesus Christ is our eternal High Priest in the heavens.
Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. Romans 8:34
Christ is interceding for us. That verb is present tense. Right now He is interceding for you and me. That is ultimate security!
I stagger and often fall, Lord, but You are interceding for me before the Father. I can trust You fully!
