Do Not Mock God… There Are Consequences If You Do!Mockery of God! NeedEncouragement.com

Please contact us if you have questions or if you need some encouragement.

When we use God’s name in vain, we do not fully grasp the significance of our actions. It is important to remember that when we mock God, we are essentially mocking the very essence of love and goodness. God commands us to honor Him because He knows that by doing so, we align ourselves with His divine purpose for us. I can vividly recall a time from my younger years when I used God’s name in vain on the basketball court. However, as soon as I understood that it was a sin against God, my perspective changed drastically.

Reflecting upon those moments now, I realize how influenced I was by external factors like peer pressure and  substances such as alcohol and drugs. These distractions prevented me from giving God the respect He truly deserved. Additionally, other influences such as the media further blurred my understanding of what it meant to honor and revere God. It is crucial to acknowledge that people can unknowingly or subtly mock God in various ways beyond using His name carelessly or disrespectfully. Ignoring Him altogether, misquoting His words, or showing disbelief towards Him are all forms of mockery too. Even before embracing my faith as a Born Again Christian, there was an inherent sense within me that knew better than to mock or disrespect our Creator. Yet some individuals believe they stand above society’s laws while remaining unaffected by the consequences set forth by God and His word. Let us remember though that one day everyone of us will have to bow our knees before Him – hopefully after reconciling with Him before hand. ~ Bill Greguska

What Is Blasphemy Of The Holy Spirit?

Do Not Mock God, But Rather Have Faith In Jesus Christ!

Mocking God and having contempt for God is foolish, and God will not overlook that. We must believe in Jesus Christ and accept Him as our Lord and Savior.  Like it says in Romans 10: 9-10, If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
People have asked me how they can get right with God. I can only say for sure how it happened to me that I first had to hit bottom in my life. When I did that, I realized I could not save myself from what I got myself into. I needed God to help me, and when I did that, then that is when I started to get right with God. Each of us has a story about how God made Himself known to have a story about how God made Himself known to us.
