What does the Bible say about false refuge?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that trusting in falsehoods or self-righteousness leads to judgment, as illustrated in Isaiah 28.

The Scriptures characteristically warn against relying on false refuges, such as self-righteousness or works, instead of faith in God. Isaiah 28:14-18, for instance, describes leaders in Israel making a covenant with death and hiding under lies. God’s response illuminates that such trust is misplaced and ultimately leads to judgement. This principle is echoed throughout the Bible, emphasizing that those who rely on their deeds or erroneous beliefs will face serious repercussions when God's righteous judgment comes. True refuge can only be found in Christ, who is the cornerstone laid in Zion, indicating that safety and salvation are through belief in Him alone.
