My mother gave me these words of warning as I would head out of the house on the way to school. She would say, “Before you cross the street, you stop, you look, and you listen. She was trying to keep me from getting injured or worse. God also gives us warnings for our good. God loved us so much that He sent His only Begotten Son to shed His sinless blood so we could enjoy eternal life. There are some warnings more important than others like this one: “…man is destined to die once and after that face judgment” (Hebrews 9:27).
