Warning, Warning

I recently went on holiday with the coach company KM Travel of Chesterfield to Bognor Regis, staying at the Royal Norfolk hotel, on our second day we had a trip to Worthing, I thoroughly enjoyed myself walking around the town, the pier and the beach. One part of the beach has large rocks placed as a sea defence with warnings all along them, saying, "Warning, danger, keep off”.
You can imagine my surprise when I saw a man scrambling over them with his young son, stopping to get their step right next to one of the many warning signs. Not only was this man putting himself in danger but his son too.  As I continued to walk a lady and her mother also clambered onto these rocks to take a selfie, they too stood next to the warning signs. I wonder who they would have blamed if they had had an accident.


I thought about this and wondered what kind of excuses people will try to give when they find themselves at the judgement seat of God, having ignored all warnings they received in their lifetime. But it will be too late, judgement will be done and they will be condemned. But oh, how different it will be for those who heed the warnings and steer clear of evil walking in the light of God. God reveals Himself in nature, there will be no excuse for any man. Those who seek God He will reveal Himself to, He has also revealed Himself and His will for our lives in His Word, the Holy Bible, He has revealed how we can be saved from this awful judgement that is to come. The only way is through Jesus Christ, God's Son, who came to earth to seek and save the lost. He died at Calvary by crucifixion taking the punishment for our sins, He rose on the third day, giving to everyone who repents of their sin and believes in Him everlasting life. We shall all one day stand before God, some to eternal life, some to judgement. 

How do you stand,
have you taken heed of the warnings?
