Be warned!  Listen!  Hear God’s voice to you.

He speaks through His word, the Holy Bible.

He speaks through followers of Christ who use the Bible as the authority of their speech.

He speaks through sound biblical teaching and songs (for the words come from Scripture.)

He spoke through His Son – and He is speaking still, if we would only listen.

“Listen” with your mind and your heart as you read the following passage of Scripture.

(NASB) Hebrews 3:7-13 “Therefore, just as the Holy Spirit says,

  • Today if you hear His voice,
  • 8 Do not harden your hearts as when they provoked Me,
  • As in the day of trial in the wilderness,
  • 9 Where your fathers tried Me by testing Me,
  • And saw My works for forty years.
  • 10 ‘Therefore I was angry with this generation,
  • And said, ‘They always go astray in their heart,
  • And they did not know My ways’;
  • 11 As I swore in My wrath,
  • ‘They shall not enter my rest.’”

12 Take care, brethren, that there not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God.
13 But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still ‘Today,’ so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.”

Sin deceives…and the heart is hardened.
The Lord is giving you warning…are you listening in belief?

Read again, the above Scripture.

Sin deceives: leading to a hardened heart
and resulting in unbelief.

Deception of sin causes you and me to ignore God’s words.  We find “reasons” for our thoughts and actions in our refusal to believe God.

(NASB) Hebrews 3:12-13 “Take care, brethren, that there not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God.
13 But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still ‘Today,’ so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.”
