"See To It That You Do Not Refuse Him Who Speaks"





Warning Against Refusing God



 













   Make every effort  to live in peace with all men  and to be holy;  without holiness  no one will see the Lord.  
    See to it that no one misses the grace of God  and that no bitter root grows up  to cause trouble  and defile many.
    See that no one is sexually immoral,  or is godless like Esau,  who for a single meal  sold his inheritance rights as the oldest son.
    Afterward,  as you know,  when he wanted to inherit this blessing,  he was rejected.   He could bring about  no change of mind,  though he sought the blessing with tears.
    You have not come to a mountain that can be touched  and, that is burning with fire;   to,  darkness, gloom  and  storm;   to a trumpet blast  or to such a voice speaking words  that those who heard it  begged that no further word be spoken to them,  because they could not bear what was commanded:   "If even an animal touched the mountain,  it must be stoned."
    The sight was so terrifying  that Moses said,  "I am trembling with fear."
    But you have come to Mount Zion,  to the heavenly Jerusalem,  the city of the living God.   You have come to thousands  upon thousands  of angels  in joyful assembly,  to the church of the first born,  whose names are written in heaven.   You have come to God,  the judge of all men,  to the spirits  of righteous men  made perfect,  to Jesus   the mediator  of a new covenant,  and to the sprinkled blood  that speaks a better word  than the blood of  Abel .
    See to it  that you do not refuse  him who speaks.   If they did not escape  when they refused him  who warned them on earth,  how much less will we,  if we turn away  from him  who warns us  from heaven.
    At that time  his voice shook the earth,  but now he has promised,   "Once more I will shake  not only the earth  but also  the heavens."
    The words "once more" indicate the removing of what can be shaken - that is,  created things - so that what cannot be shaken  may remain.
    Therefore,  since we are receiving  a kingdom  that cannot be shaken,  let us be thankful,  and so worship God  acceptably  with reverence  and awe - "For Our God  Is A Consuming Fire."
                                                                                          Hebrews   12:14 - 29






















   Many blessings to you, and yours.
