I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD; and thy law is my delight.
(Psalm 119:174)For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;
(Hebrews 2:2) How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation?
The writer of the Epistle to the Hebrews, similar to the Apostle Paul in Romans chapter 12, emphasizes the importance of taking seriously the great salvation received through Christ Jesus. The writer points out that in the previous plan of salvation in the Old Testament, God immediately brought punishment for disobedience and neglect of the plan. Therefore, Christians must be careful about how they behave and not neglect the seriousness with which they should serve the Lord. The salvation through Christ Jesus has been confirmed by those who heard God testifying together with them, with signs and wonders, and various miracles. The writer emphasizes that neglecting such a great salvation will lead to punishment and discipline from the Lord.
