Hebrews 7:25
25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the
uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever
liveth to make intercession for them.
Have you heard this expression: “She is really pregnant; she could deliver at any moment!” How about this: “After his bath, my little boy ran out the back door completely naked!” We know what is meant, but in each example adverbs like “really” and “completely” are unnecessary. A woman is either pregnant or not; a child is either naked or not. There is no in-between.
So then, why does Hebrews 7:25 say that Christ is able to save completely (or “to the uttermost”) those who trust in Him? Aren’t we either saved or not saved? Yes, but the author used a Greek word that is imprecise in meaning. Completely could mean “in every way” or “forever”—or both. And most likely, the meaning is both—similar to Paul’s words in Romans 8:1: “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus”—no condemnation of any kind, at any time. We are saved from everything, forever, in Christ. If you ever wonder about the extent of your salvation in Christ … don’t. You are saved completely, to the uttermost, forever.
Unless we are saved by grace, we cannot be saved at
all. ~ Charles Hodge

Jiu-jitsu puts you completely in the moment, where you must have a complete focus on finding a solution to the problem. This trains the mind to build that focus, to increase your awareness, your capacity to solve problems.

In a completely rational society, the best of us would aspire to be teachers and the rest of us would have to settle for something less, because passing civilization along from one generation to the next ought to be the highest honor and the highest responsibility anyone could have.

To the eyes of a god, mankind must appear as a species of bacteria which multiply and become progressively virulent whenever they find themselves in a congenial culture, and whose activity diminishes until they disappear completely as soon as proper measures are taken to sterilize them.
