Getting Past the Basics

Read Hebrews 4:14
through 7:28

Students who neglect to apply themselves are held back from higher grades. Soldiers who do poorly in basic training have little hope for advancement through the ranks. A lawyer who fails the bar can’t stand in a courtroom. Employees who perform minimal service rarely make it to management positions.

Let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God (Hebrews 6:1).

The writer of Hebrews called on believers to take hold of all that God wants to do in their lives and to pursue His excellence.

Instead, so many Christians fail to pursue God. They accept Christ as Savior, but go on with their lives, immersed in their own goals and dreams. Giving little thought to God’s greater plan, they struggle with temptation and find themselves “back to square one,” repenting at an altar. The mature believer keeps discovering new vistas of usefulness and fulfillment in the Kingdom.

Challenge for Today: Identify compromises you are tempted to make that would hold you back from God’s finest plan for you.
