29.What were the Jewish Christians in danger of doing?

Throwing away their boldness and confidence in Christ.

It appears they were settling back into the ways of the world, not being careful to assemble with fervent believers. They had accepted the elementary principles of the new covenant but were not taking advantage of the growth in righteousness that now is available through the blood of Jesus and the Holy Spirit. They were as Israel in the wilderness: content to remain encamped, not pressing forward to the rest of God.

Although they had stood courageously during persecution they still were babies, not being able to distinguish between righteousness and lawlessness. Therefore the writer of Hebrews was not able to feed them with the meat of the Word of God.
