The first century apostolic Church (Acts 2) received its dynamic impetus from eyewitness accounts from those who saw the resurrection of Christ and the dramatic attending events, giving them boldness and motivation to face persecution to tribulation to martyrdom to demonstrate their steadfast faith in Jesus Christ. God through His truth gave them a hope, a confidence, and an elation as they experienced the Creator's personal involvement in their lives, while their unconverted family and neighbors could only stumble along in darkness. As the century began to end, the congregations experienced a kind of spiritual entropy, letting down, drifting, or succumbing to sluggishness, causing the writer of Hebrews to admonish them for their backsliding into spiritual immaturity when they should have matured to zealous teachers. Even though the believers of the first century experienced shockwave after shockwave of extraordinary events, because of the law of entropy, their zeal atrophied after the shockwaves dissipated. Those living near or at the end of the age, having their attention spans attenuated by exponential knowledge explosions (Daniel 12:4), will have to fight spiritual entropy to hang on to saving faith or love (rare commodities Luke 18:7, Matthew 24:12) in a climate of lawlessness and deceit. Those having received the precious John 6:44 calling of God and the gifts of God's Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38, I Corinthians 12) need to guard their priorities, resisting the enervating pulls of the world's technology attempting to compete with the superior enlightenment given to the saints who have appropriated the mind of Christ (I Corinthians 2:16).
