======================================================================== HEBREWS CHAPTER 2 OUR RESPONSE TO GOD by A.B. Simpson ======================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DESCRIPTION ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CONTENT ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip" (Heb. 2: 1). "Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God" (Heb. 3: 12). "While it is said, Today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation" (Heb. 3: 15). "Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it" (Heb. 4: 1). "Let us labor therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief" (Heb. 4: 11). God has spoken. This is the first message of Hebrews. But what response does He expect from us? That is our present message, and it is answered in the passages quoted above. 1. "Let us give heed." The word "heed" is derived from "head," and it means that we should give our most earnest and careful attention and consideration to the great Messenger whom God has sent from the throne to bear His last word to men. How little attention we give to His Word! Preoccupied with a thousand other things when we hear it, and distracted afterwards by the whirl of the world\ ======================================================================== Source: https://sermonindex.net/speakers/ab-simpson/hebrews-chapter-2-our-response-to-god/ ========================================================================
