“But wait! There’s more!” the late-night infomercial salesman shouts...How many times have you seen a flashy infomercial for a new product claiming that it’s so good that you’ll “never need to buy another one!” It’s such an exciting idea that people clamor to buy it and try it, but of course, with a rare exception, it never really quite works. Someday, somehow, that new thing is going to wear out, break apart, get dull, or lose its usefulness. The exact opposite is true in a spiritual sense for those who hold fast to Christ. What Christ has accomplished for us is a once and for all sure thing. We are not only cleansed from our sin, we are constantly being made holy – stain free. Nothing sticks except the righteousness of Jesus Christ. What we need to really grasp from this passage is that those who are friends of God are so because Christ mediated a better relationship so we could come near to Him. But wait, there’s more! We are not just sanctified as a once and done act, we’re constantly being sanctified because Jesus is always interceding for us. The next time you’re down and questioning your position in Christ, remember that no good works on your part made you holy, so no bad works can remove it. You are secure in Christ because of what he has done. You can set it and forget it!
