God Gives a Lot of Examples

“Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition.”

1 Corinthians 10:11


Ponder This

In the wilderness, when the children of Israel were coming out of Egypt and going to Canaan, they lived in sin, they fell into idolatry, and God destroyed many of them. First Corinthians 10:11 says, “Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition.” God does certain things as examples. God says, “You want to know how I feel about murmuring? There’s an example. You want to know how I feel about hypocrisy and superficiality in the Church? There is an example.” God does these things sometimes as examples. Will we learn today?

Practice This

Write out an example from the Bible that you can learn from in order to follow God rightly. Write out what happened in the biblical account and what takeaways you might learn from that account.
