FRIDAY- Warning Label
If the Bible had a warning label, what would it say? Not only is the Bible full of the things that make our life complete, but it also provides us with warnings of what happens to someone who does not obey God's word. Many people think that the Bible is just one big love letter from God, and that is mostly true. What they fail to see is that the Bible also contains stern warnings from God about what will become of us, should we not follow his guidlines.
The Bible warns that:
We are not to add to, or subtract from God's Word
(Revelations 22:18-19) I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book. And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city.
Do Not Substitute Human Ideas
(Mark 7:7-8) They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men. You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions of men.
Preach and Teach Only God's Word
(2 Timothy 4:2) Preach the Word; be prepared to in season and out of season ; correct, rebuke, and encourage-with great patience and careful instruction.
His Word will Judge Us
Jesus is speaking here. He says clearly that if you don't obey the words he has spoken, you are in trouble in the last day. That day he is referring to is the day of judgment. (John 12:48) There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; that very word which I spoke will condemn him at the last day.
Those are all pretty scary warning labels.
Prayer time: Spend some time talking to God about His “warning labels”. Ask Him to help you follow them.
