How shall we escape if
we neglect so great a salvation? (Hebrews 2:3)
Have you consider the
salvation you have through Jesus Christ?
When we consider the great lengths and depth of the love of God to
provide our salvation, what is our response?
Do we neglect the greatness of our salvation as we do physical
things. We may treat our great salvation
as we treat the deed of our house, the manual of our automobile or even our national
ID.
What is our salvation
that we may neglect. The Author of this
scripture is saying, don’t neglect being loved by God. Don’t neglect the forgiveness, acceptance
protection, strengthen and guidance from God.
Don’t neglect the death of Christ on the cross for payment of our sins,
nor the righteousness imputed on us by faith.
We should not neglect the removal of God’s wrath because of the payment
of our sin debt.
Being a Christian is a
serious business therefore we should not neglect our great salvation. To do so is to undermine the great price paid
for our salivation. It is refreshing to
see a person who was wrapped in darkness to see and receive the glorious light
of the grace of God and abandon all for Christ sake a we have seen a man who
was a leader in the Muslim faith has given his life to Christ.
