Our readings in this series are from the book, Such a Great Salvation. Here is a brief excerpt from pages 9 and 10:
“Perhaps most Christians today have merely tasted of the Lord and His goodness and have concluded that He’s pretty great. Or that He’s great enough for them. For now. And perhaps for the duration. Like C. S. Lewis said, we’re way too easily satisfied with what we know of God’s salvation.
“The Word of God sets forth a diagnosis for this condition of being too-easily satisfied with the state of our salvation; this practice of feeling good about Jesus on Sundays but stifling our exuberance the rest of the time; this ‘good-enough-for-me-for-now’ approach to Christian faith.
“The diagnosis is neglect, and the primary symptom is drift.
“And the consequence of neglecting our great salvation and drifting from it provokes an ominous question: ‘How shall we escape?’”
