“Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.”
Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them — Christ's ability to save completely is grounded in his eternal intercession before God. His work is not past but ongoing; he stands perpetually in the presence of God on behalf of believers.
