Warning of Judgement
This powerful message challenges us to examine the difference between religious activity and genuine relationship with Christ. Drawing from Hebrews chapter 2, we're confronted with an uncomfortable but essential question: Do we truly know Jesus, or do we simply know about Him? The sermon explores the critical distinction between attending church out of habit or social obligation versus coming because we genuinely love the Savior who died for us. We're reminded that salvation isn't proven by how we start the race, but by how we finish it—holding fast to our confidence in Christ until the end. The warning is clear: we can be the most religious people in the room, serving on every committee, singing in the choir, and still miss the very heart of the Gospel. The concept of neglecting salvation isn't about outright rejection, but about being so close to the things of God that we assume we know God Himself. This message calls us to honest self-examination, asking whether the Spirit of God is still convicting our hearts or whether we've grown comfortable in our religiosity. The good news is that God's warnings aren't meant to discourage us but to lovingly redirect us toward the truth that sets us free.
