Day 20 – Author of Eternal Salvation

Heb 5:9  And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;

Good morning, dear reader! I hope you’re enjoying this devotional series. It’s a blessing to me to be able to see the Saviour of all mankind in the different titles presented. Today’s is no exception. Noah Webster defines “author” as:

AU’THOR, n. [L. auctor. The Latin word is from the root of augeo, to increase, or cause to enlarge. The primary sense is one who brings or causes to come forth.] One who produces, creates, or brings into being; as, God is the author of the Universe.

Every word in the scriptures is there for a reason. The word “author” is no exception. Is it any wonder that this word is only used three times in the bible? They all appear in the New Testament and all refer to Jesus Christ!

1 Cor 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

Heb 5:9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;

Heb 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

This Author is responsible for our eternal salvation! He paid the price with His sacrifice on the cross, ONCE for ALL (Heb. 10:10)!

Heb 10:10  By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

Praise the Lord! Only a Perfect sacrifice could obtain our salvation. Amen? Thank You, Jesus!!
