Thoughts on Galatians 6:7

“Why does Paul say, “God is not mocked” when He is mocked all the time?  Look at the movies and the comedy shows.  

We turn up our noses at His mere existence.  

We sniff at the limitations of His law.  

We dismiss His concerns and show contempt for any moral reasoning that might even slightly cut across our desires.  

We laugh at and dismiss the warnings—along with the promised blessings of living in accord with His standards.  

But even though an entire Universe of people may laugh at Him or simply dismiss Him,  Paul is saying that God is not mocked.  Not really.  Not in the end—because the mocking doesn’t change the Reality.

And when reality settles in and God is vindicated, as He surely will be, all our sneering and sniffing disdain, contempt, and laughter will fall from our confident faces.

Then we will close our mouths, because the joking is over.

And we were wrong.  

Seriously wrong.”
