Hebrews 5:9. And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;
"Being made perfect." "What," says one, "did Christ need to be made perfect?" Not in his nature, for he was always perfect in both his divine and his human nature; but perfect as a Saviour, perfect as a Sympathizer, above all, according to the connection, perfect as a High Priest. "Being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him." Christ will not save those who refuse to obey him, those who will not believe in him; there must be an obedient faith rendered unto him, or else the virtue of his passion and death cannot come to us.
