Do we heed warnings? We have many warnings and warning systems today. The Bible, doctors, meteorologist, and yes, the experience of our own mistakes. Are we listening? Will we ignore these and suffer the consequences?
Proverbs 22:3 A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself, but the simple pass on and are punished.
Proverbs 27:12 A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself; the simple pass on and are punished.
How many times do we ignore warnings?
2 Timothy 3:16-17 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Do we put our trust in a man to tell us how to walk out God’s way, truth, and life? Are we not warned that there will be false teachers?
Acts 17:11 These were more fair minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, AND SEARCHED THE SCRIPTURES DAILY TO FIND OUT WHETHER THESE THINGS WERE SO.
A WARNING:
Revelation 22:18-19 For I testify to everyone who hears the words of this book: If anyone adds to these things God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this Book.
God takes seriously leading people astray by falsely using His word.
Are we listening?
