What does it mean to drift away spiritually?

Answered in 1 source

Drifting away spiritually refers to the gradual disengagement from the truth and commitments of the faith, often due to distractions of the world.

Spiritual drift is a serious concern for believers, as depicted in Hebrews. It describes a state where individuals become preoccupied with worldly pursuits and lose sight of their commitment to Christ and the gospel. Just as a fisherman may find himself far from shore due to inattention, so believers can find themselves distanced from their spiritual foundations. Hebrews warns that neglecting 'so great salvation' can lead to dire consequences, as it reflects a disregard for the grace and truth revealed in Christ. Ongoing attentiveness to God’s word and community is crucial in avoiding this drift.
