November 10, 2023                  DAY AFTER DAY


Hebrews 3:12-14 “Take care brethren, less there should be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart, in falling away from the living God. But encourage one another day after day as long as it is still called ‘Today,’ lest anyone of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our salvation firm until the end;”


It is wise for us to be conscious of the fact that it is possible for us to have an unbelieving heart and to fall away from the living God. And there is something else to be aware of; if we are living our lives without a living, vibrant relationship with God, if we are spirituality coasting, then we have fallen away from the living God. (I am not saying we have lost our salvation-that’s another subject.) God is not in to a casual relationship with His people! Either He is our Lord and He is our life, or He is not; He is not about being a ‘part’ of our life. Paul tells us to ‘take care;’ if we do not take care, then before we realize it, we are living ‘our’ life, pursuing our goals, doing what we want to do, and trying to work God into our schedule-and that is falling away from the living God. We must remember  that sin is deceitful-and deceitful is just that-deceitful. If we chose to walk in sin, our hearts become hardened. Because falling away is a possibility, we are to be actively encouraging one another, and ourselves, ‘day after day.’ Today, there is a strong tendency to live independent lives, to be private; we must not yield to that but must be willing to be ones that encourage other believers to continue in the faith. What Paul says at the end of this passage is sobering; holding fast the beginning of our salvation is a fruit or result of our being partakers of Christ. If we find that we are drifting or becoming stale spiritually, let us recognize that and turn to the Lord and renew ourselves in the things of the Lord. We are not perfect; sometimes we live according to our flesh; but let us not continue to do so. The good news is that the Spirit of God lives in us and He is always leading us to life, and He is in fact our life. Our part is yielding to Him. 


Hebrews 10:23-25 “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who has promised is faithful; and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encourage one another; and all the more, as you see the day drawing near.”
