At a church rummage sale in eastern Pennsylvania, Penny McKim purchased a shoebox full of coins and medals. Later, she discovered that one of the medals had originally belonged to famed industrialist and Bethlehem Steel Founder, Charles M. Schwab. She later learned that it was very valuable. Clearly someone did not recognize its true value. Similarly, there are many valuable but underestimated items in our lives. For example, the Bible, which has the power to transform lives, is often ignored and left to gather dust in our homes. Remember please that “…the word of God is living and powerful and sharper than any two edged sword…” But when neglected, it results in the neglecting of our relationship with God and of our personal salvation. No doubt that is why God inspired the same author of Hebrews to ask the rhetorical question, “ how shall we escape, if we neglect so great a salvation?”
