majestic, and full of splendor: breathtaking! Here is what I saw of
him in Galatians 6:7-10,
"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. Let us not become weary in doing good,
for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people,
especially to those who belong to the family of believers."
God cannot be mocked. The book of Proverbs repeatedly tells us to
maintain a healthy fear of the Lord. There we are told that the
well-spring of wisdom is found in the fear of the Lord. "The fear of
the Lord is the beginning of knowledge", Proverbs 1:7. In his first
letter, Peter tells us to live our lives here in reverent fear,
because God "judges each man's work impartially", 1 Peter 1:17. In the
next chapter Peter tells us to live as servants of God and to "fear
God". 1 Peter 2:16-17. The writer of Hebrews tells us, "'The Lord will
judge his people.' It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of
the living God." Hebrews 10:30-31.
While I celebrate the wonderful love of God as his child and look
forward with great anticipation to the place I have in his family, I
never want to forget that God cannot be mocked. I will reap what I sow
and I will have to give an account of myself to my heavenly Father, a
father who is holy and righteous! God is not to be meddled with, he is
to be feared.
