Heb 9:16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. Heb 9:17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.
We have a testament given to us by our Lord Jesus Christ. Mt 26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. Every time we observe the Lord’s table we give remembrance to that testament.
For any testament to be of worth, seven requisites must be satisfied:
There must be a testator (one who leaves a will, Jesus Christ).
There must be living heirs (those who inherit, sinners saved by grace).
There must be goods to be inherited (for us, eternal life).
There must be the death of the testator (crucifixion).
There must be a public confession of that death (the blood).
There must be witnesses (believers).
There must be a seal (the Holy Ghost).
Salvation is not under probate. Every requirement has been satisfied. It stands in God’s courtroom. Satan may argue against it, but he is no match for the blood of Jesus Christ. For three days and three nights this testament was presented to, approved and sealed by the heavenly Father. Christ arose to be the executor of this testament.
Rev 21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
