Publisher's Synopsis
"How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation" Hebrews 2:3. This "great salvation" includes much more than escape from God's judgment and condemnation, although that escape is of immeasurable benefit. This great salvation also brings believers into the family of God as His children and provides the capacity through His Holy Spirit to transform believers into godly children.
