It is a serious thing to mock God or His servants. In the Bible we read of awful judgments that fell upon those that mocked. We live in a time when people mock God and nothing seems to happen. Does God not take notice of such mockers? Remember that the Lord “is long-suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:99The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. (2 Peter 3:9)). Those who do not repent of their evil ways will surely stand before the great white throne and answer for their mockery. Galatians 6:77Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. (Galatians 6:7) says, “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”
