The Danger of Departing

Scripture: Hebrews 3

"Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; but exhort one another daily, while it is called "Today," lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin." (Hebrews 3:12-13)

Every Christian is in danger of "departing from the living God." Sin is deceitful. It cheats. It deludes. Sin leads away from God.

In the first three chapters of Hebrews two safeguards are given from above to help us avoid "departing from the living God."

1. The Word

2. The Exhortation of Faithful Brethren

Avoid "departing from the living God!" Abide in His Word! Exhort your brethren!
