Heb.4:14 Having then a great high priest, who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold tightly to our confession. 4:15 For we don't have a high priest who can't be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin.
4:16 Let us therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace for help in time of need.

The apostle Paul summat his thoughts by Holy Spirit in this part of his letter to the Hebrews. Here he tells us all things for God's anointed are under perfect control of the head of the body Christ Jesus. Nothing is lacking, and nobody can stop the word of God from completing its purpose on earth or in heaven. Nothing is beyond the eyes of God's Word Christ Jesus the very word the anointed are created from and live in.

Isa.40:27 Why do you say, Jacob, and speak, Israel, "My way is hidden from Yahweh, and the justice due me is disregarded by my God?" 40:28 Haven't you known? Haven't you heard? The everlasting God, Yahweh, The Creator of the ends of the earth, doesn't faint. He isn't weary. His understanding is unsearchable.
40:29 He gives power to the weak. He increases the strength of him who has no might.

1Cor.3:21 Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours, 3:22 whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come. All are yours,
3:23 and you are Christ's, and Christ is God's.

Perfection rules in complete harmony and control unlike the shakable corrupt kingdoms of this earth, unlike every human being born into sin that are constantly shaken in everything they do. The work finished in Christ who tasted sin and death for all of us, he is not like the high priest of flesh and blood on earth left to the corruption of their own flesh and those they ministered to. Christ is the indestructible life we all received the power of Holy Spirit through. He conquered sin and death for us, he ran the race allowing us to be part of an everlasting way. The way, the life and the truth.

Col.1:14 in whom we have our redemption,{TR adds "through his blood,"} the forgiveness of our sins;
1:15 who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. 1:16 For by him all things were created, in the heavens and on the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and for him.
1:17 He is before all things, and in him all things are held together. 1:18 He is the head of the body, the assembly, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. 1:19 For all the fullness was pleased to dwell in him; 1:20 and through him to reconcile all things to himself, by him, whether things on the earth, or things in the heavens, having made peace through the blood of his cross.
1:21 You, being in past times alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil works.

Col. 2:15 having stripped the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in eating, or in drinking, or with respect to a feast day or a new moon or a Sabbath day,
2:17 which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Christ's.
2:18 Let no one rob you of your prize by a voluntary humility and worshipping of the angels, dwelling in the things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
2:19 and not holding firmly to the Head, from whom all the body, being supplied and knit together through the joints and ligaments, grows with God's growth.
2:20 If you died with Christ from the elements of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to ordinances,
2:21 "Don't handle, nor taste, nor touch"
2:22 (all of which perish with use), according to the precepts and doctrines of men?
2:23 Which things indeed appear like wisdom in self-imposed worship, and humility, and severity to the body; but aren't of any value against the indulgence of the flesh.

Satan was defeated completely by Christ faithful life, resurrected into incorruptible spirit person as the king of eternity. Nothing is left undone, not one thing for those having faith. Yes, that is the key, we have boldness, if we do not trust in flesh, not even our own. We have boldness trusting in what? Grace, God's love, God's unmerited kindness given to us in the greatest gift of love that could be offer mankind, the Christ, the Word of God, the indestructible life of God's Kingdom Christ Jesus.

Philip.2:9 Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name;
2:10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth,
2:11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Philip.3:20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from where we also wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;
3:21 who will change the body of our humiliation to be conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working by which he is able even to subject all things to himself.

We can approach God not in our merit, not in our worth, not in our works, but because of God's love. What he gave us, on all levels leaving nothing undone, the perfect sinless life of his Son Christ Jesus. We are not bold in our flesh, we do not like the world is in brag in our flesh, being puff up thinking we cannot fall or we have earn merit because of our own efforts?

Ephesians 3:7 of which I was made a servant, according to the gift of that grace of God which was given me according to the working of his power.

2 Corinthians 9:15 Now thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift!

Romans 9:11 For being not yet born, neither having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him who calls.

Romans 11:6 And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.

No! We have fallen from God's glory we have been born into that state, but because of a perfect life, not ours, not that we could have every made ourselves acceptable to God, but by God's perfect preordained plan we have been given life. We have been given life freely, without our goodness, works, or personality, position, education, circumstance, God's gift of unmerited kindness, given us freely, no human would account us worth, so why justify ourselves to the flesh that condemns, and is condemned proven from it own fruit of corruption, they deprived Christ of his life, why would we put faith in flesh at all?

Romans 7:5 For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were through the law, worked in our members to bring forth fruit to death.

Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.{NU omits "who don't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit"}

Romans 8:3 For what the law couldn't do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh;

Romans 8:8 Those who are in the flesh can't please God.

Romans 8:9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is so that the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man doesn't have the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.

Romans 8:12 So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

We must always be sober of mind having Christ mind, not our old mind of flesh, having faith in the perfect gife of God, Christ Jesus as our life, we must always fix our eyes on the solution, not the problems, not the past defeated by Christ, but the hope, putting faith in God, and none other to fix the problems of mankind.

1 John 3:8 He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. To this end the Son of God was revealed, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

Revelation 22:13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.

1 Peter 4:7 But the end of all things is near. Therefore be of sound mind, self-controlled, and sober in prayer.

Hebrews 3:14 For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm to the end:

1 Corinthians 15:24 Then the end comes, when he will deliver up the Kingdom to God, even the Father; when he will have abolished all rule and all authority and power.
