Hebrews 2:1
Hebrews 2:1: “Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.”
This is exactly why we need to keep studying the Bible, year after year after year, and why pastors should continually teach the whole counsel of God. If we start to neglect some doctrine or truth it will become easy for that teaching to simply slip away into oblivion. We are leaky vessels; we need to be continually reminded of what is true – and what is false. We are engaged in a very serious war, and our adversary is trying desperately to destroy us all. The forces of darkness are absolutely committed to this, and we need to be that much more committed to the truth. We can’t allow the world to lull us to sleep or overwhelm us with the cares of this life. If we do not earnestly pursue the truth then we will not possess the truth for very long.
