The apostle Paul asked a crutially important question, when in Hebrews 2:3, he wrote;
I would call your attention to the words "so great" used to described this
salvation that he wrote of. I would also call you attention to another question --
"Saved from what?"
The GOD who created the universe is perfect in righteousness, holiness,
and in power. But when Man rebelled in the Garden of Eden (see Genesis chapter 3)
he fell into a nature of sin
which is at war with His holy nature.
GOD, who is just, cannot permit such evil in His presence, and
therefore swore His eternal wrath [Psalms 95:11]
in an eternal lake of fire. This lake of fire and brimestone
[Revelation 20:10] was initially prepared
for the Satan who deceived man, and was the very first to rebel against GOD.
Unfortunately, as we arrive in this world, we find ourselves being the
offspring of the fallen ADAM whom Satan deceived. Each of us were born into
this same spirit of rebellion [Psalms 51:5]
first demonstrated by Satan as is recorded in Isaiah 14. Therefore, we fall
into his same condemnation. Do not allow this to be your ultimate fate.
Do not continue headed towards an eternity of this terrible state.
"So Great Salvation..."
