Memorization Monday - Hebrews 5:9

Hebrews 5:9 (Speaking of Jesus) And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him,


In the previous verse the author had said that even though Jesus was a son, He learned obedience from suffering. In verse 9, the thought continues stating that having thus been perfected...  That doesn't mean Jesus wasn't perfect. It means that having suffered and learning what obedience was, He was able to fulfill the end or purpose of His coming, to become the author of eternal salvation.

We are all looking in one way or another for eternal salvation. The Bible claims that Jesus is the author of that salvation. It is through faith in Him that salvation is obtained. There is no other source.
