Saved 'To the Uttermost'

Commentators emphasize that because Jesus lives forever, His ability to save is absolute and complete. The phrase "to the uttermost" means He saves comprehensively, from every kind of sin and in every situation. Unlike the temporary Levitical priests, Jesus's work is never interrupted by death, ensuring your salvation is secure and finished.
