“So
their root shall be rottenness because they rejected the law of the Lord.”
Isaiah 5:24
God continues to warn His people not
to be fooled by appearances. The loud denouncer of God may have power,
prestige, or great wealth in this life, but in the life to come, the one that
is everlasting, they have no account at all. Their arrogance will fan the
flames of their eternal destiny. This is not my word, but God’s. “Therefore the anger of the Lord is aroused
against them. And the flame consumes the chaff.” (Isaiah 5:24-25)
God loves us so much that He sent
His Son to die on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins. But Jesus said
that there would be those who loved the darkness rather than the light. For
them there was only condemnation. The Christian must be ready to always share
the Gospel in order that the scoffer might hear and be saved, but their end is
not determined by their position with men but by their position with God.
Dear Father, Let us not despise the
souls of the scoffers but pray for them and share Christ with them. Amen.
