Memory Verse “Those things happened to them as examples for us. They were written down to warn us. That’s because we are living at the time when God’s work is being completed” (, NIrV).
Today, people may give you this advice: “Be true to yourself.” This advice means that our personal ideas, experiences, and needs are “truth,” whatever these things may be. But what happens when some of these “truths” go against the Truth, Jesus Christ, and His Written Word, the Bible?
What happens is that some people will accept Bible truth and reject their false beliefs. Other people will continue to believe lies. Some people will change their behavior when they hear Bible truth. Other people will fight against it.
In Bible times, God’s messengers, or prophets, often announced messages that people didn’t want to obey. These prophets were blamed, made fun of, or sent away from their communities. Some of the messengers were hurt or killed (). But they didn’t worry about the danger to their lives. They announced God’s messages anyway. That’s because God gave His prophets lifesaving messages. So, the prophets announced these messages, even if doing so put their lives in danger.
