Neglect not reject.

Hebrews 2:3 says, "How shall we escape if we ignore such a great salvation?"
This verse speaks volumes and it is important that we look at each word. First, it is addressed to "we" which would include the author and therefore it is addressed to Christians.
Second, we are told that we are to escape. What are we escaping? That will be a subject for another post but it is sufficient to say that it is not addressed to unbelievers as it uses the word "ignore" or "neglect" rather than reject. Therefore, we need to know that if we as believers ignore our salvation then we are in danger of punishment.
So what is the great salvation? Many have addressed this saying it is great in what it cost, what it does, who it does it for, etc. However this salvation is great because it is a person. Salvation is not a plan but a person, Jesus Christ our redeemer. Can Christians ignore Jesus? Yes they do and when they do they are in danger of judgment. We cannot become Christians apart from Jesus Christ and we cannot live as Christians apart from Him. When we do then we are ignoring the great salvation.
