The salvation that is in Christ is a great salvation
IT is great because of His dignity, honor and perfection
He is better than the angels, has all power and authority
He by His own death He purged our sins and bridged the great chasm of separation that was between us and God. Your sin and guilt before God was great and it took one who is great to accomplish a great salvation for you.
There is no other salvation to be had anywhere-therefore we must pay heed to the things that we have heard about the matter of salvation.
We should not neglect salvation-because that is to set our priorities wrong. There are consequences to neglecting salvation-the knowledge and truth of Christ.
You will drift away-from the safe harbor that is Christ. The solution to not drift away back into sea of falsehood is to remain anchored in that which is solid and immovable-God's free and sovereign grace.
Drifting away is the natural result of not caring for the things of Christ. And one does not put effort to drift away. One only needs to look away and the sinking begins.
The elect do not neglect salvation as to be lost. God will keep them-but He may chastise them to that end.
