The Appeal

After giving the readers (and us) a warning from Scripture the author goes on to make an appeal. The appeal is for the Word of God. We must hear the Word, remember Paul said that faith comes by hearing. But we must not stop at just hearing the word we must believe it, but again we are reminded that even the demons believe but they are condemned. So what more is there? We must obey the Word. To hear the word and believe the word is like a man who looks at his messy hair in a mirror but walks away and does nothing about it. But it doesn't stop there. We must be also share the word. The Israelites heard the word, believed the word and even obeyed the word but kept it to themselves. We must share the good news. This is the appeal of this warning.
