SEE TO IT THAT YOU DO NOT REFUSE GOD

SEE TO IT THAT YOU DO NOT REFUSE HIM WHO SPEAKS.

IF THEY DID NOT ESCAPE WHEN THEY REFUSED HIM

WHO WARNED THEM ON EARTH,

HOW MUCH LESS WILL WE,

IF WE TURN AWAY FROM HIM WHO WARNS US FROM HEAVEN?

AT THAT TIME HIS VOICE SHOOK THE EARTH,

BUT NOW HE HAS PROMISED,

'ONCE MORE I WILL SHAKE NOT ONLY THE EARTH

BUT ALSO THE HEAVENS.'

THE WORDS 'ONCE MORE' INDICATED THE REMOVING

OF WHAT CAN BE SHAKEN--

THAT IS, CREATED THINGS--

SO THAT WHAT CANNOT BE SHAKEN MAY REMAIN.

THEREFORE, SINCE WE ARE RECEIVING A KINGDOM

THAT CANNOT BE SHAKEN,

LET US BE THANKFUL,

AND SO WORSHIP GOD ACCEPTABLY

WITH REVERENCE AND AWE,

FOR OUR GOD IS A CONSUMING FIRE.

(Hebrews 12:25-29)
