“An ungodly witness scorneth judgment: and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity” (Proverbs 19:28).
“An ungodly witness scorneth judgment,” because of his own wickedness and ungodliness. There are people that say, “I’m just going to go ahead and do what I want, because I can get away with it.” They scoff at judgment, it ain’t ever gonna happen. That’s what the majority pretend to think about hell. “There isn’t any hell! Oh, it’s just the grave!” Until they get there and know better.
“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap” (Galatians 6:7).
You can’t mock God; you can’t make fun of judgment. God said that if you sow you will reap. But there are people that look down at God’s warnings and say, “It ain’t gonna happen to me!” Haven’t we all dealt with people like that once in a while in our lives? The prisons are filled with them. They don’t think something is wrong, so it can’t possibly be wrong. How many inmates claim their innocence?
Unfortunately, there are even a few saved folks that have that mindset. “I can get away with anything, because ‘God is love,’ and He would never punish his child!” I guess they missed those verses about chastisement and lose of rewards in heaven. They probably just overlooked that verse that says they will “suffer loss” in heaven.
“My marriage isn’t gonna come apart!” You wait. “My kids aren’t going to grow up to be hoodlums.” What do you mean? They are hoodlums now?
“. . . and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity,” they eat it up.
“Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them” (Romans 1:32). They love to do wrong, knowing the judgment of God--they know about it, but they scorn it—and they want to get as many as they can to do what they are doing so they can continue to claim, “Well, everyone is doing it!”
“And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness” (II Thessalonians 2:11-12). Are there any more frightening words in the Bible? “God damns them.”
If anyone would like to be added to the ping list, please let me know either by post or by p.m.
