We must pay more careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.
Hebrews 2:1
I think what this verse is actually talking about is have untrue thoughts about God. Or you don’t study the Bible very deeply you may think that they are contradictions within it. Or we may just make assumptions about God that could be totally wrong and believe them because we don’t know our Bible well enough. We must be very careful when others are telling us stuff about God that we test their words against the Bible.
As I was approaching me surgery I was told a lot of things about God. Some of these things seemed to make sense and pushed forward a more loving God. These comments seemed good because of this. But it dimed down God’s love to the way we love. It made God not as wise. It made him be under the control of our ways of thinking. And I do admit to thinking one of these were correct for a while. This left my brain quite closed to the actual way of things. It made me turn my back to God’s ways, as lowering God down is a form of sin. And sin drifts us away from God.
We need to get stuck right into the Bible to prevent things like what I was told becoming our beliefs. The more and more of these wrong things about God that get caught up in our head the weaker our foundations will be. And this will lead us to a place where we will no longer look to God at all and we’ll lose faith.
Therefore get grounded deep in the Bible and pay very careful attention so that you do not start to drift away.
