Drift away

Hebrews 2:1 in The Living Bible says: "So we must listen very carefully to the truth we have heard, or we may drift away from it."

What is your concept of "drift away"? I think of

• be passed by
• opportunity knocks - you have free choice ... to accept or decline, to take action or ignore
• stay in the Word, in the faith you have accepted vs. moving away from, turning your back on what you know is true to something else

Perhaps I am missing something here, but is it not true that once you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, you become a Christian? Judaism is a religion, Christianity is a religion. If you are a Jew and become saved, are you not then a Christian? Isn't Hebrews 2:1 saying that once we have heard the truth, we must live in that truth and look to Jesus for everything. If we profess to be a Christian yet continue to follow the laws of the Jewish faith, are we not "drifting away?" Isn't it the same as when God said you cannot serve man and God ... one or the other. You follow the Lord's will or you follow your own, your fellow man.
