Hebrews 2:1, "Therefore..."

After planting The Stake in the Ground of the Absolute Sovereign Deity of Jesus Christ in Hebrews2:1 begins with a “THEREFORE”,or in other words, because of the HUGE SIGNIFICANCE of the Absolute Sovereign Deity of Jesus Christ,we MUST pay attention to the warning/instruction/encouragement that comes after the “therefore”!The Deity of Christ is one of the “main targets” of Satan in his efforts to destroy us in this life and especially for all of Eternity...,because if Jesus is even a single speck short of being FULLY GOD,then the The Truths of the entire Bible fall far short of revealing into our lives The Full Mercy and Full Grace of GOD that HIS Awesome Love desires for us to be blessed with....and we will never know the LOVING RELATIONSHIP with GOD as our Father in Heaven that Jesus Christ only can enable.Hebrews2:1-4.”Therefore we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it.For since the message declared by angels proved to be reliable, and every transgression or disobedience received a just retribution,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,while God also bore witness by signs and wonders and various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will.”.These verses are reminding us that we must be proactive in “paying closer attention” to what we have heard and been told about The One True Triune God...the ONLY Author & Perfecter of our FAITH (Hebrews12:2,”Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”).The first Century followers of Christ knew the significance of The Holy Scriptures having God The Father,God The Son,&God The Spirit weaved throughout every fiber of God’s Word...and how the Birth,Life,Teachings,Sufferings,Death,Resurrection,&Ascension of Jesus Christ VERIFIED every Word in God’s Word...& FULFILLED every HOLY&RIGHTEOUS REQUIREMENT for every Promise in God’s Word to be FULFILLED in the lives of those who TRUST in Jesus Christ as Savior & Lord.These verses are warning us that if we do not continue to “pay closer” attention to The Truths that God reveals to us through His Word and His Spirit.....we may “drift away from it”.I recently saw a friend after not hearing from them in 10 years.10 years ago they were firm in their FAITH in Christ and what The Bible said as TRUTHS.Over the last 10 years they went back to Seminary and began being mentored by a professor that had drifted from The Truths of God’s Word...& did not believe in the Significance of Jesus’ Deity.This obviously led to a slow drift in “who” my friend was 10 years ago,to a person that is now very different and obviously lacking an Eternal Peace and Joy that is supposed to be this life as well as Eternally(what God desires for us-“Therfore, my brothers and sisters, you whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, STAND FIRM IN THE LORD.....Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!....And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”).The “moral of the story” is that unless we regularly shore up our mind/heart/life with what God has given us,shown us,and proven to us through His Word,His Spirit,& PROVEN through Christ...and TRUE UP EVERYTHING by what God has given us,shown us,and proven to us through His Word,His Spirit,& PROVEN through Christ...we may very well “drift away from it...”.Dear Lord, Thank You for Your Word and Your Spirit...& the faithful men and women that You have brought into my life that have been used by You to remind me of the Truths in these verses of Hebrews 2 that have kept me from drifting away from You.And I praise You for Giving me Your Word and Your Spirit to guide me and provide the protection against a “drift” in my life.Please,I pray...continue to HELP keep from this treacherous drift in my mind/heart/life.
