Hebrews 2:1 – Paying Attention
February 17th
Hebrew 2:1 offers a simple yet profound exhortation to all believers. The author of Hebrews exhorts his people to remember. However, the way he says this makes all the difference. He says it is necessary to pay attention much more closely to what we alrea…
