Pay Attention! (Heb 2:1-4)

Pay Attention! (Hebrews 2:1-4) We must pay much closer attention to what we have heard in the gospel! (v. 1a) If we don’t, we drift. (v. 1b) If we drift, there will be just consequences. (vv. 2-3a) And we are without excuse for our inattentiveness. (vv. 3b-4) Therefore we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard in the gospel! Christian faith is not a flawless life, but it is a fully committed one. Take It Home: (Discussion Questions for Discipleship Groups meeting in homes or at church) • Do you like boats?

What things need to be explained in order for it to be clearly understood and ‘savingly’ received? • Discuss God’s justice. How can he be just without being a tyrant? (eg. God’s goodness) • What things in this life tend to lure us away from the gospel truth we have heard? What silences such false allurements?
