Signs and warnings are important to pay attention to. Just about anywhere you go, you will come in contact with some kind of warning, whether in the form of announcements, symbols, lights etc. We are often governed and controlled by these warnings, like the ones we receive from the police, governments, doctors and employers. Not heading these warnings can results in some pretty big consequences. When we do pay attention to these warnings and follow the rules and laws in place, we tend to live better and safer lives. The same goes for warnings from the Bible. Too often the most ignored warnings are those from God. The first warning given by God was during creation. Man ignored this warning and that came at a great cost. God’s warnings are for our benefit – to help and guide us. Jesus warned His followers against sin and evil. He said: “Watch out! Be on guard” (Luke 12:15). He also warned His followers against false and hypocritical religious people and leaders: “Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am he,’ and ‘The time is near.’ Do not follow them.” These warnings are for our safety, issued because of God’s great love for us. Here are seven cautionary warnings from the Bible.
