Today's reading: Isaiah ch. 51

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;
Hebrews 2:3

At first glance, it may not always appear that neglect is such a great mistake. It depends on what circumstances may result. Neglect in a minor manual repair, for example, is less serious than when a nurse omits to give the medicine prescribed to a patient who suffers as a result.
In the verse quoted above, it is a question of those who neglect "so great a salvation", that is who fails to heed God's offer of salvation. They may not be scoffers or godless persons. They continually postpone taking a stand before God and accepting Jesus Christ as their Saviour. They may intend doing so some time, but not right now. For the time being, they leave the matter of salvation to one side.
Salvation is "great" because it is a gift of God and can save the most guilty among us. It is great because it grants us eternal life, demanding nothing more of us than faith in Jesus Christ and His work of redemption.
Let us consider the consequences that neglect can have! They cannot be compared with any financial or health problems we may experience during our life on earth. The issue is: being separated from God eternally. Too much is at stake for procrastination, which may in intent be only temporary, but in fact could turn out permanent!

CAN SATAN RIGHTLY ACCUSE YOU?

Besides discouragement, another weapon Satan uses often against believers is their weaknesses. He simply studies an individual for a period of time and not long after, he identifies the fellow's weakness and capitalizes on it. Take for instance Peter. Satan discovered that Peter is a cowardly person-lacking in...More

SPIRITUAL WARFARE I

When we are told to put on the whole armour of God, one thing becomes clear instantly. This is the fact that there is a God. We cannot be talking of the armour of God if there is no God. Anyone who thinks that there is no God is a fool (Psalm 14:1). You have to pray that God would reveal Himself to you. The...More

SATAN INTIMIDATES

When Goliath came to the battlefield, he took the form of a big problem but he later became a big opportunity. He came as a mighty obstacle but turned into a mighty door of opportunity when God stepped in. Every giant who stands in your way this season shall become a door to your breakthrough in Jesus' Name.
