From Faith to Faith
Bishop Keith Butler
Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the
things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip. Hebrews
2:1(KJV)
One way to grow in your walk with God is to never allow the
things you've learned in the Word of God to get away from you. When you are
introduced to more truth from the Bible, take it and add it to what you're now
walking in. What you already know is a foundation on which to build. Therefore,
don't throw away or forget the old. New truth does not negate the old. It is
but another brick to add to the strong foundation of your spiritual house.
To walk in the blessings of God you must have faith.
Therefore, it is important that we hold on to our faith and not let it slip
away from us. Let's read the text from the Amplified Bible: "Since all this is
true, we ought to pay much closer attention than ever to the truths t hat we
have heard, lest in any way we drift past [them] and slip away."
Now notice what Paul says here (I believe that Paul is the
writer of Hebrews). He says we ought to give more earnest heed to the truths we
have already heard. He said we ought to pay more attention to what we already
know.
In other words, what we know, we don't throw away. We don't
have to get a new revelation. I've heard people say, "I don't need all that
faith stuff anymore. I don't need all that confession stuff anymore. I'm past
that; I'm into a deeper revelation."
But you're always going to need faith. And you're always
going to have to deal with the ramifications of the words of your mouth whether
you know it or not. And let me tell you, when you let these things slip away -
when you let them get away from you - you pay the price.
In fact, Paul said in our text that we ought to pay even more
attention to these things.
So often people learn something, they move on to something
else and forget about what they've already learned. You should always be adding
to the house, so to speak. This way, when the trials of life come they won't
even be able to shake you. You'll stand strong in the Word of God.
