• Your salvation rests on an eternal promise made before time existed — not on anything you can see, feel, or achieve • Christ is interceding for you right now — permanently, perfectly, without fatigue or interruption • Do not drift toward the visible and convenient at the expense of the eternal foundations of the gospel • The church must recover the eternality of the gospel — the whole Bible, Old and New Testament together, tells one covenantal story pointing to Christ • God is never tired of hearing your prayers — bring every need, every petition, every burden to your eternal High Priest
