As we reflect and meditate our daily scripture today, in Hebrews 2, we read a warning for the believers not to neglect the salvation that we have received from the Lord.
This chapter was written for the believers / Christians who accepted Jesus as their Lord and savior.
1 “Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away.”
Verse 1 exhorted us to earnestly heed the things that we heard - we must truly understand the words of God and do it. Hearing and doing means earnestly heeding the word. Because if we don’t do what we have heard we might drift away from our faith.
In Verse 2, the warning was given that we will be judge according to our transgression and disobedience.
2 “For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just reward,”
If we consider our salvation as God’s way of rescuing us from hell, we will hold on unto it and treat it as the greatest gift of God for us. Anything that of great value is taken cared of and valued for life.
Therefore, if we neglect something, we probably do not consider it great. Yet our salvation is great, because:
· We are saved by a great Savior.
· We are saved at a great cost.
· We are saved from a great penalty.
The reason many neglect their salvation is because they never see it as salvation. They see it merely as receiving something, not as being rescued from something.
Verse 4 mentioned that God confirms our great salvation through signs and wonders and gifts of the Holy Spirit.
“God also bearing witness both with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to His own will?”
Hebrews 2:4
Let us reflect:
- How do we value our salvation given to us by Jesus?
- how do we earnestly heed His Words and His Commandments?
May the Holy Spirit lead us always to be grateful for our salvation not neglecting His words but doing it.
Amen.
