GOD CANNOT SAFELY BE SCOFFED AT
Reflect on this sobering truth: It is written in the Bible (Galatians 6:7):
“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap.”
Here are some men and women who mocked God:
John Lennon:
During an interview with an American magazine in 1966, this member of the Beatles pop group said:
“Christianity will end, it will disappear. I do not have to argue about that; I am certain. Jesus was OK but his subjects were too simple, Today we are more famous than Him.”
Years later Lennon was assassinated in public, being shot six times.
The ManWho Bullt the Titanic:
After the construction of the Titanic, a reporter asked how safe the Titanic would be. With an ironic tone the reply was:
“Not even God can sink this ship.”
Marilyn Monroe:
Monroe was visited by evangelist Billy Graham after presentation of a show. It is said Graham believed that the Spirit of God had sent him to witness to her. After hearing what this preacher had to say, she said:
“I don’t need your Jesus.”
A week later, she was found dead in her apartment. No record of any changing of her mind on this matter, exists.
Tancredo Neves:
During a Presidential campaign in Brazil, Neves said that if he got 500 votes from his party, not even God could remove him from office. He secured those votes but got sick a day before being inaugurated as President and subsequently died.
Many disregard the fact that there is no other name that carries so much authority as that of the Lord Jesus Christ. Some, foolishly have dared to show deliberate contempt for this Name.
Jesus said “If you get embarrassed about me, I will also get embarrassed about you before my Father.” §
