Thoughts

I was reading in Hebrews 12:25 where it said,

“See to it that you do not refuse Him who is speaking. For if those did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less shall we escape who turn away from Him who warns from heaven.”

Think about that and read it again. 

“See to it that you do not refuse Him who is speaking. For if those did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less shall we escape who turn away from Him who warns from heaven.”

God offers to us a relationship with Himself that saves us, forgives our sin, and allows us to be with Him in heaven forever.

Unfortunately, some reject His offer of a relationship.

They may hear about God’s offer from people they know on Earth.  They may reject the people who share it.  They may be pastors, evangelists, or just people who they know who believe in and follow Christ.  Rejecting people is not the issue, it is rejecting God.

It is God Himself who created everything that exists and we are told that He did it by speaking.  The passage tells us that it is His voice that speaks to us from heaven — the same voice that created everything.  It is the Holy Spirit of God that draws us to faith in Christ through His grace.

If we reject Him who warns us, understand there is no escape through any false religion or man-focused philosophy or ideology. We are told that our hope is in Christ alone.

Those who are Christ followers have the privilege and responsibility to warn others of this danger of rejecting God.  It doesn’t matter if we are rejected.  It is the rejection of God Himself that is the danger. And this is everyone’s eternal choice. 

May any who read this choose wisely!

That my Trumpet Blast for today.
