"Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us."
"This verse paints a neat picture of heaven. It says that no one can put you down in God's eyes, because Christ Jesus is at the right hand of God, defending you to him. Have you ever watched a court show on TV? The defense lawyer is on the side of the person on trial. The Lawyer for the other side is called the prosecutor, and he tries to convince the judge that the person is guilty. The defense lawyer works between the judge and prosecutor to come up with a good result for his client.
Jesus is your defense lawyer. He fights for you. Satan tells God about all the bad stuff you've done and says, 'There's no way you should let him/her into heaven. That kid has messed up a thousand times. You can't have all that sin up here.' But Jesus leans over to God and says, 'Yeah, it's true that he/she has made mistakes. But I died for that person. That person is blameless. Thank Jesus for always standing up for you."

Hebrews 6:19
"This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil..."
"This verse talks about anchors. It says your hope in Jesus Christ is like an anchor. you can trust in Jesus' love and promises. He'll always be there. He'll never move. Your hope in him is secure.
Jesus spent a lot of time on the water. He knew a lot about boats. He calmed the sea during a terrible storm just by speaking a word. he walked on the water. Several of Jesus' disciples were fishermen, which means they knew a lot about boats too. So when you read that your hope in Jesus Christ is firm and secure like an anchor, you can be sure the writer knew what he was talking about. He understood anchors. Without a good anchor, you can lose your boat. Having a trustworthy anchor is important. And no anchor is stronger than Jesus. You can put your hope in him.
Tell God you're going to trust him to anchor your life."
