Greater Salvation Through Jesus — Jesus Is Greater Series #1نموونە

Warning #1: Be Careful Not To Drift

Thoughts on the Word

There are five warnings in this book. This is the first one — be careful not to drift away from what we have heard. Each warning gets more and more serious. Each time the warning talks about a more serious rejection of Jesus.

This first one is drifting. If we no longer are pushing to know more about Jesus — we drift. This is like being in a boat and just allowing the flow of water to take us.

The consequences? Anyone who disobeyed God's law given to Moses because of carelessness, paid the price (whatever the law demanded). We will face greater consequences, because Jesus words are greater that the law of Moses. Yes, it is a tough warning. They get much more serious later in the book of Hebrews.

Prayer

Father, it is so easy to drift in our faith. We lose focus, we get tired of the struggle to be obedient, we become afraid, or we just stop. Yes, we drift. Help us today to be diligent and keep working at our obedience. Some days it is hard. Some days it is very hard. Some days we just get tired. So strengthen us by Your Spirit so we can diligently follow You. In Jesus name, Amen.
