Then why was the law given at all? It was added because of human sin. It was supposed to control us until the promised Seed came. The law was given through angels, and a mediator was put in charge of it.
I want to remind you about some things you already know. The Lord saved his people when he brought them out of Egypt. But later he destroyed those who didn’t believe.
Without faith it’s impossible to please God, because those who come to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who try hard to find him.
So make sure that you don’t disobey the one who’s speaking to you now. If they didn’t escape when they disobeyed the one who warned them on earth, how much less will we escape if we disobey the one who’s warning us from heaven!
We can also rely completely on the message of the prophets. It’s important for you to pay attention to it. That message is like a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
