 God Gives Us Messages of Warning to Save Us from Destruction ㅡ

 “And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.” (Acts 3:23)

 Before the Flood God sent Noah to warn the world, that the people might be led to repentance, and thus escape the threatened destruction.

 As the time of Christ’s second appearing draws near, the Lord sends His servants with a warning to the world to prepare for that great event.

 Multitudes have been living in transgression of God’s law, and now He in mercy calls them to obey its sacred precepts.

 All who will put away their sins by repentance toward God and faith in Christ are offered pardon.

 But many feel that it requires too great a sacrifice to put away sin. Because their life does not harmonize with the pure principles of God’s moral government, they reject His warnings and deny the authority of His law.

 “The day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.” (2 Peter 3:10).

 When the reasoning of philosophy has banished the fear of God’s judgments; when religious teachers are pointing forward to long ages of peace and prosperity, and the world are absorbed in their rounds of business and pleasure, planting and building, feasting and merrymaking, rejecting God’s warnings and mocking His messengers—then it is that sudden destruction cometh upon them, and they shall not escape. (1 Thessalonians 5:3).
