How Shall We Escape?

Heb 2:2-4

 
 

2 For if the word spoken by angels was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;

 
 

3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;

 
 

4 God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?

KJV

 
 

God has provided us with a wonderful plan of salvation. All of the Old Testament rituals point forward to it. Jesus entire life worked toward it. And, in Jesus death and resurrection, we have the provision for our salvation. Jesus suffered tremendous pain. God sacrificed His own Son so that we could have life. What amazing love! It goes beyond our imagination. Yet, so many people today neglect that provision of salvation. They reject God's plan. They live their own life on their own terms with no regard for God, and they will not escape the ultimate judgment of God.

 
 

Lord, help me to serve you faithfully. Thank You for Your wonderful plan of salvation. Thank You for dying so that I might have eternal life. Help me to take advantage of Your great provision of salvation so that I can live in heaven with You.
