Hewbrews 6:19-20

We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, sure and steadfast, which reaches inside behind the curtain, where Jesus our forerunner entered on our behalf, since he became a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.

We can hope in God’s promise to Abraham because God passed through the sacrifice on His own. The covenant is not upon our shoulders to uphold, it has been and always will be God’s part to uphold that covenant. The very possibility of our salvation, of blessing, of relationship with God hinges upon God making plans to make a way for us to be with Him. Through Christ Jesus, God has accomplished that. The only road that brings you to God is the one where you follow Jesus. It is the road that depends fully upon the work He accomplished on the cross, and the truth that He was raised from the dead, ultimately ascending to be seated at the right hand of God the Father. Jesus is everything to the unbeliever, and must remain the “chief cornerstone” and necessary foundation for all who have come to believe in God.
