The Ruin of Rotten Roots

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.
