First, if we are content with where we are in our Christian life, we are to question ourselves concerning whether or not we are even in the faith. If we are growing cold and indifferent concerning Christ and his claims upon us by God's word, we are to question ourselves, not this text. Third, those who see Christ as no more than a ticket to heaven are in serious trouble - they are obviously one of the first three mentioned in Matthew 13, regardless of the mighty works they may have experienced. Fourth, if we have heard the truth, but have no desire to move ahead to maturity once we have been enlightenedby the truth, then we must question ourselves to see if we are in the faith. We must not question this text of Scripture.
Life is made up of troubles.
Yet people go to church many times a week and are still unprepared to handle the troubles. They are unprepared because all they know is the basic doctrine of Christ. The answers to man's troubles are no longer found in Scripture as they once were. Rather, the answers are sought in secular counseling and in medication. According to Hebrews, the answer for man's problems is to grow up, and become mature in the word and life of the Son of God.
