If we are not diligent and deliberate in our pursuit of Truth (God), it’s easy to drift off the path we are meant to travel. God’s Truth always stands firm, and His justice always prevails. It’s easy to be complacent with the message of the Gospel, so don’t allow yourself to go there. Jesus this, Jesus that, Jesus saves, yada, yada, yada.... once you allow this life transforming message sink to the level of mediocrity, it will be a long, and hard journey back. Even though the message is simple, it’s supposed to be. It’s so effective when God calls a person, we don’t need to over complicate it. Taking God’s grace for granted is easy to do. Once you start, it snowballs into an avalanche, burying alive your enthusiasm and zeal for the truth; the two necessary requirements for preaching an effective Gospel (Spirit and Truth). If you find yourself in this predicament, get on your knees and ask God to forgive you, and to restore the love for Him you once proclaimed to all. If you’re not there, ask Him to preserve this grace-filled attitude you have towards Him, keeping your faith solidly preserved to fully function in His will. It’s easy to drift, especially if you lead a busy life. But remember, God is never too busy to meet your needs, so we should never be so busy that we omittedly miss His calling.
So we must listen very carefully to the truth we have heard, or we may drift away from it. 2 For the message God delivered through angels has always stood firm, and every violation of the law and every act of disobedience was punished. 3 So what makes us think we can escape if we ignore this great salvation that was first announced by the Lord Jesus Himself and then delivered to us by those who heard Him speak? 4 And God confirmed the message by giving signs and wonders and various miracles and gifts of the Holy Spirit whenever He chose.
Hebrews 2:1-4
