Hebrews Chapter 3 Review {Lesson 5/Day 7}

How many people claim to follow Christ treating him as their “Get Out of Hell” card? When we hear that we can have our sins forgiven, dodge Hell and get into heaven and it’s as simple as just believing?...hmmmm, that’s pretty easy! Come forward at an altar call. Accept Jesus into my heart as a child. Pray the “Sinner’s Prayer.” But later, a trial comes—a wilderness time. Bored of manna. Weary of persevering and what that actually takes...the pleasures of the world – or simply the lack of zeal for the fixing our eyes on Jesus – take priority and you find yourself no longer interested in Christ and his Word and prayer and worship and missions and living for the glory of God. The author of Hebrews is exhorting and encouraging us today to check our hearts. If we don’t hold tight, we were never truly of “his house.” Do not treat God’s grace lightly. Don’t think that you can receive it like a way out, but not live with God’s guidance and truth in your daily life. Don’t leave this time today satisfied in taking the mercy of God to avoid Hell, but remain hard in your heart toward him when it comes to daily fellowship. Humble your heart today and exhort others in your life to do the same. Download the study at www.LaMiradaChurch.com
