Lest We Drift Away

Hebrews 2:1-4 (ESV Strong's) 

1 Therefore we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it. 2 For since the message declared by angels proved to be reliable, and every transgression or disobedience received a just retribution, 3 how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? It was declared at first by the Lord, and it was attested to us by those who heard, 4 while God also bore witness by signs and wonders and various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will.

The good news of the gospel is that salvation can be ours if we stay the course in following Jesus. If we drift away in neglect of what we have heard, we face the danger of running aground on the rocks and reefs of the earth that lurk just beneath the surface of the waters of man. It is a dark and unpredictable sea and the ship that bears us to our salvation might run aground, break up and sink, drifting to the bottom below. 

Many bore witness to the life and miracles of Christ Jesus. They listened to His words of the news of salvation and believed. Today we listen to the Holy Spirit from within, bearing witness to our spirits with the power and truth of God.
