There are more than 500 warning signs approved by the US federal government. Each government has its list of warning signs. They are valuable information for those who drive. Now, there are more signs with symbols, so that even those who cannot read may understand. The Bible also has many warnings for our lives.
False teachers: The Lord Jesus Christ, Apostles Peter, Paul, Jude, and John warn against false teaching and false teachers. They rise from among believers and creep in subtly.
Nominalism: There could be people who are associated and even active in the church, but not yet born again. The author of Hebrews warns them to take heed and exercise faith to be saved. (Hebrews 6:4-6; 10:26)
Perseverance of saints: Believers are expected to hold on to the Word and persevere. (I Corinthians 15:1-2) Those who endure till the end will be saved. (Matthew 24:13) They are warned to endure and persevere till the end of their life or the Coming of the Lord.
Warning from the wilderness: Paul writes the disciples should be warned from the history of the Israelites, especially their experience in the wilderness. (I Corinthians 10:1-10) God was not pleased with most of them for idol worship, testing God, sexual immorality, and grumbling against God.
Stony and thorny grounds: Christians could allow their hearts to be filled with sin, lack of vision, lack of faith, emotionalism, materialism, deceit of riches, and worldliness. It is like a field filled with stones and thorns that do not allow fruitfulness. (Matthew 13:1-23)
Freedom: The disciples of the Lord are set free from the slavery of sin, satan, and the world. They are purchased by His blood. They should not become slaves to myths, traditions, human doctrines, heresies, and legends. (Galatians 5:1; Philippians 2:12-13)
Diligent or Lazy: Christians are called to be diligent, effective, and filled with love and passion. However, many are like the sluggard whose field was overgrown with thorns and thistles, the fence was broken, and in total disarray. (Proverbs 24:30-34)
