Hebrews 2: 1 Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away.
The use of therefore in Hebrews makes us pay attention to a point of application after the writer developed a principle. The Scriptural fact of Jesus’ superiority over the angels has life-changing application – and now we consider the application.
Give the more earnest heed: This has not only the idea of hearing carefully, but also in doing what we hear – and we must give the more earnest heed. It is not enough to hear we need to enter in to the family by faith.
If we do not give the more earnest heed, we will drift away. Drifting naturally happens without an anchor to something solid. If we are not securely set in the superiority of Jesus, we will drift with the currents of the world, the flesh, and the devil.
Those who just sat and played the Agrippa Card (ALMOST you persuade me..or the Felix card “Some more convenient time…” are in sad peril One doesn’t have to do anything to drift away.
According to an old story, an ungodly farmer died and it was discovered in his will that he left his farm to the Devil. In the court, they didn’t quite know what to do with his bequest – how do you give a farm to the Devil? Finally, the judge decided: “The best way to carry out the wishes of the deceased is to allow the farm to grow weeds, the soil to erode, and the house and barn to rot. In our opinion, the best way to leave something to the Devil is to do nothing.” We can leave our lives to the Devil the same way – by doing nothing, by drifting wherever the current drive us.
Paul wrote “Behold NOW is the accepted time, today is the day of salvation.”
You ponder that.
