DAILY DEVOTIONAL

Read the Instructions -

On June 29, 2024, BBC News reported a tragic incident involving four Sri Lankan fishermen who died after consuming liquid from unlabeled bottles they found floating in the ocean. Their fishing boat, the Devon, was operating over 300 miles off the coast of Sri Lanka when they discovered the bottles. Mistaking the contents for alcohol, they drank the liquid and shared it with other fishing crews in the area. As of the reporting time, in addition to the four deaths, two other fishermen were critically ill from the unidentified liquid. This tragic mistake had deadly consequences.

This story, while heartbreaking, serves as a powerful metaphor for the false and misleading information about the New Testament’s teachings that sometimes circulates in the religious world. Just as the fishermen were unaware of the danger in the bottles, many people are unaware of the spiritual dangers of not reading the Bible. How else can one discern which teachings are safe to follow?

 The answer lies in adhering to and teaching the plan of salvation that has Jesus’ “seal of approval.” To consume any other gospel is to make a mistake of eternal consequences (Gal. 1:8-9).
