Today’s Thought “Belief: Not Enough” G. Ward

Hebrews 2:1 For this reason we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away from it. 

 

As this great writer sought to pervade on some Hebrews (devout in commitment to all they were exposed in Judaism) the reality of Christ’s supremacy over the angels, then reasoning with them, found them seriously acknowledging all the scripture given by the prophets of old substantiating this, yet negligent in surrender to Christ. Comparably, many exist in our day that also agree with what’s been written; even that to which witnesses their ability to quote passages and whereas educational pursuits then and now rely on passing a test upon information ingested, proving proficiency, the Truth of God’s classroom won’t involve a certification of completeness, but more unfolds an ongoing discipleship (John 8:31).

Faith is activity, not head knowledge. Moreover, faith must have an object to place trust in. Therefore, and because it is written, acknowledgement of Christ supremacy, must absolutely believe HE alone (Ac.4:12) can/will forgive sin found in you (particularly upon your repentance unto HIM) and then submit to HIM (with all that is written – Luke 6:46). To do, declares belief.
