HANG ON TIGHT TO WHAT YOU GOT! 10-8-17
Two main points in the book of Hebrews
1. Christ reveals God to man.
2. Christ represents man to God.
I. We must Hebrews 2:1 - 4
A. Give earnest heed Hebrews 2:1
1. “We†(believers)
2. Therefore
B. Earnest Heed
C. Drift away = into apathy
II. Warning Hebrews 2:2
A. Transgression (to step across the line, a sin of commission)
B. Disobedience (the idea of one shutting their eyes, a sin of omission)
C. Just reward
III. Result if we don’t obey Hebrews 2:3
A. Message to saint not sinner
1. “We†(believers)
2. Neglect (to have something to be neglected – not rejected)
B. Salvation
C. Only the beginning
1. Conquerors Romans 8:31-19
2. Overcomers and Victory
“For He has spoken in a certain place of the seventh day in this way: “And God rested on the seventh day from all His worksâ€; 5 and again in this place: “They shall not enter My rest.†Hebrews 4:4-5
IV. Spoken by Hebrews 2:3,4
A. Jesus
B. Confirmed
1. by Apostles
2. Signs-wonders-miracles
Mark 16:15-20  And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.†19 So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. 20 And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen.
Paul wasn’t ashamed:
Romans 1:16-17 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.
2 Corinthians 5:19 (NKJV)
19Â that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
Acts 20:28 (NKJV)
28Â Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood.
Romans 3:24-26 (NKJV)
24Â being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25Â whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, 26Â to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
John 5:39-40 (NKJV)
39Â You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. 40Â But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.
Luke 13:34-35 (NKJV)
34 “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were not willing! 35 See! Your house is left to you desolate; and assuredly, I say to you, you shall not see Me until the time comes when you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’
John 3:18 (NKJV)
18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

6 not a
[a]novice, lest being puffed up with pride he fall into the
same condemnation as the devil.
7 Moreover he must have a good testimony among those who are outside, lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
1 Timothy 3:10-16 (NKJV)
10 But let these also first be tested; then let them serve as deacons, being
found blameless.
11 Likewise,
their wives
must be reverent, not
[a]slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things.
12 Let deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling
their children and their own houses well.
13 For those who have served well as deacons obtain for themselves a good standing and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
14 These things I write to you, though I hope to come to you shortly;
15 but if I am delayed,
I write so that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and
[b]ground of the truth.
16 And without controversy great is the
[c]mystery of godliness:
God
[d] was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Preached among the Gentiles,
Believed on in the world, Received up in glory.

Adultery begins in the heart. Matthew 5:28 (NKJV) 28 But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
B. You think evil in your hearts.
Matthew 9:4 (NKJV) 4 But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts?
C. Evil comes from the Heart
Matthew 12:35 (NKJV) 35 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart[a] brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things.
Matthew 15:19 (NKJV) 19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies.

Acts 11:22-26 (NKJV)
22 Then news of these things came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent out Barnabas to go as far as Antioch.
23 When he came and had seen the grace of God, he was glad, and encouraged them all that with purpose of heart they should continue with the Lord.
24 For he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a great many people were added to the Lord.
25 Then Barnabas departed for Tarsus to seek Saul.
26 And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for a whole year they assembled with the church and taught a great many people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
ETERNAL RETRIBUTION
Matthew 3:10-12 (NKJV)

11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit
[a]and fire.
12 His winnowing fan
is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
