"Warning Labels" 

 

In our time, most products we buy come with warning labels which tell us of potential dangers accompanying improper use of the product. Some have warnings of side effects. Others may warn us to keep away from children, while still others may warn of dangers of electrical shock, accidental ingestion, etc. These labels clear the manufacturer and seller of liability. It's like they are saying, "We gave you directions on how to use, and how not to use it, but ultimately the choice is yours."

God, from the very beginning, gave us the perfect directions on how we are to live our lives, along with a list of warning labels, pointing out the potential dangers of living any way we please.

Mankind ignored His warning labels sent through His prophets, so He came in the person of Jesus Christ.

Colossians 2:9; "For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily." (KJV)

John 1:1; "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." (KJV)

Yes, God has given us the instruction manual on how to live our lives (The Bible), complete with warning labels that help us avoid pitfalls.

Lord Jesus, we thank you for our instruction manual and for the warning labels that guide us in the right direction. We thank you for sending the Holy Spirit to help us understand the difficult parts.

In Jesus name. Amen.
