We do not drift towards God, we drift away from Him. We do not drift towards holiness, but selfishness. We do not drift towards passion, but apathy. We not drift towards humility, but pride. We do not drift towards righteousness, but sinfulness.
This is why we are warned, pay MORE attention to what you have heard or you WILL drift away. Take notice of the word, "more." At first this closeness to Christ comes easy because it is brand new and revolutionary, but as normalcy creeps in (it is still brand new every day and revolutionary) but we must pay more attention to see it.
How do we practically pay more attention to what we have heard... look at it, study it, read it, listen to it, memorize it, apply it, obey it, teach it, write it, hold it, speak it, more often and longer!
