Nothing is ridiculous and even dangerous than mocking God.
In his epistle to the Galatians, the apostle Paul insists on this. He says:
« Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. »(Galatians 6:7-8)
In fact, to mock God is to act as if God has no eyes to see transgressions, as if He has no ears to hear blasphemies, or as if He is incapable of reacting.
More concretely, mocking God is pretending to love and serve Him when that is not the case; it is to act deceitfully, to be insincere and hypocritical in our professions, to pretend to obey Him, to love Him, to serve Him and to adore Him, when this is not the case.
Mocking God wounds the Holy Spirit and burns the conscience, and so the bonds of sin become stronger and stronger.
The heart gradually hardens through such a process.
But ultimately, to mock God is to deceive oneself because man can only reap what he has sown.
PRAYER:
Lord our God, grant us to never mock You.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray, Amen.
