I read a post today. SOmeone was mocking God as irrelevant and overrated. I felt I had to reply and I engaged with him. But it got me thinking about this.
Galatians 6:7
“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”
The Apostle Paul doesn’t mince words here. He’s cutting straight through the delusion that people can live however they please and somehow escape the consequences. Mocking God isn’t always loud rebellion, sometimes it’s quiet disregard. It’s the mindset that says, “I’ll do what I want, and God will understand.” But Scripture says otherwise: every seed we plant, good or evil, will bear fruit.
A.W. Tozer once warned, “What we believe about God is the most important thing about us.” When we act as though His holiness doesn’t matter, we reveal what we truly believe, or don’t believe, about Him. God’s justice is not asleep, and His mercy is not permission.
Voddie Baucham puts it bluntly: “The problem isn’t that people don’t know God exists. The problem is that they hate the God who does exist.” A culture that mocks God through pride, immorality, and self-worship is not deceiving Him, it’s deceiving itself.
John MacArthur reminds us, “You will never mock God and get away with it. There are consequences to sin, and God’s law of reaping and sowing never fails.”
But there’s hope. For those who repent and turn back, the soil of their life can change. The same law of sowing and reaping means that when you plant righteousness, you’ll reap peace. When you sow truth, you’ll reap strength.
Paul Washer said it this way: “If you sow to the flesh, you’ll reap corruption. But if you sow to the Spirit, you’ll reap eternal life, not because you earned it, but because grace changes what you plant.”
We will all stand in judgement regardless if we believe or not. What will we say to Him?
