Right, that is exactly what Jesus is.
Furthermore,
"Looking [away and only - G872] unto Jesus..." is addressed to believers (not unbelievers, here--this is not in a context of a call to salvation): "let US run with patience the race that is set before US" (v.1)
[i.e. not "in order to" be / become "saved" (in this context)--but "running the race" (of the BELIEVER/ the saved person / saints)]

I have been following the back and forth debate between you and Brightfame52 and must confess that you are losing ground in your argument. For example:
For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people.
This cannot mean all people on earth. Why? Because God does not send anything out which will return to Him Void! Therefore, He must bring it to those who are His chosen people.
You believe that it is offered to all and we must then accept that given salvation. In other words, we must perform a work to receive what was offered. That is not so. First our hearts must be changed. Who performs that process – the Spirit of God. Only then can we receive the offer which is freely given. Now that is GRACE beyond our understanding!
We must put our trust in what Christ has done for us not what we have done for Christ.
Consider the words of this hymn:
Thy work alone, O Christ,
can ease this weight of sin;
Thy blood alone, O Lamb of God,
can give me peace within.
Thy love to me, O God, not mine,
O Lord, to Thee,
can rid me of the dark unrest,
and set my spirit free.

Those who Christ died for cant not believe, His death converts them to believers. So they have not a choice to not believe. And the ones who dont believe the word, they have no choice to believe, they were appointed to disobey the word 1 Pet 2:7-8
7 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto[to that end] also they were appointed.

They are homosexuals!
You saying Homo's are in relationship with God?
You make me sick with your lack of knowledge and on here acting like you know.
26 For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature;
27 and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.

You just claimed Homosexuals are in relationship with God which God calls them an ABOMNATION!
