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 works”; 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)
19 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)
28 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)
24 being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 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, 26 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)
39 You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. 40 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.
