"A Tragic Neglect"
(Hebrews 2:1-4)

Neglecting Christ's message leads to drifting from Christ's safety.

1. Violating God's law leads to judgment. (2:2)

2. Neglecting God's grace leads to judgment. (2:3-4)

The Bible Text

Hebrews 2:1-4

1 For this reason we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away from it.
2 For if the word spoken through angels proved unalterable, and every transgression and disobedience received a just penalty,
3 how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation? After it was at the first spoken through the Lord, it was confirmed to us by those who heard,
4 God also testifying with them, both by signs and wonders and by various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit according to His own will.
