Hebrews 5-7

Christ is our eternal high priest, always making intercession for us before the Heavenly Father. He is perfect, holy, sinless, pure, not influenced by sinners, and he is raised above the heavens. [Heb. 7:26]

Although He was tempted in every point, and thereby understands the challenges of remaining pure, He overcame the pull of flesh and showed us how it can be done. What’s more, He puts His Spirit within us to empower us with overcoming energy to do likewise.

The life that we now live in the flesh, we live by the faith of the Son of God who loved us and gave Himself for us. [Gal. 2:20b] Greater love has no man than this, that He would lay down His life for His friends. [John 15:13]
