Have you Ever?

The sixth time reading through this, which is not counting the numerous times I've read it before, I stumbled across something I never noticed. It really helps me better understand the need to constantly be in the word. So without further ado here is what I discovered.

Galatians 6:7
"Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked."

My husbands version reads that "God's justice cannot be mocked." Wow! No matter how hard those of the world may try to mock God's character it isn't possible. Why is that? Well the verse continues on to talk about how we "reap what we sow". If we have hatred in our hearts towards the one true God it will be brought to light when the time comes to give an accounting for our lives. Maybe this verse isn't saying that people are not able to mock God but simply that if we do mock God we will take on the eternal consequences of doing so. We cannot mock God and with the same tongue declare a personal relationship. We can't have it both ways. Paul knows this very well. When Paul was mocking Christ he was mocking the very character of God. Paul was called to answer for his behavior. When confronted with the truth he chose to accept God's call on his life. Each of us is presented with this decision in our lives. How we respond to it makes an eternal difference. Do we continue mocking God and casting him aside with eternal damnation on the line or do we accept a call that leads to eternal salvation?
