“To convict all who
are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed
in an ungodly way and of all the
harsh things which ungodly sinners
have spoken against Him.” Jude 15
I think that Jude, through the direction of the Holy Spirit,
is trying to make a point. Just how ungodly are the ungodly? And who are the
ungodly? The ungodly are those who don’t have a sense of or a concern for the
sinful way they live. They simply disregard God in their words and actions as
if God either doesn’t care or doesn’t exist. They will repent at the
consequences of sin, but not for the sins they commit.
This reminds me of a study on animals. They have no real
moral compass. We train them to behave, and they do when we are around. But
they do as they please when we aren’t. They show regret when we scold them, but
that is not repentance, just sorrow for the scolding. The ungodly are like
that, and God will judge them for it.
Father, Help me to be conscious of, and care about, Your
directions for Your children. Amen.
