Proverbs 14:9 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God says...

“Fools mock at sin, But among the upright there is favor.” (Proverbs 14:9 NKJV)

He is warning those cavorting with sinful habits to stop the foolery before becoming a callous natural fool. By then, such a fool will just smirk when corrected of his sin. For him, sin becomes an accepted norm resulting from constant exposure to it. Like what's happening in our society today. Due to continuous barrage of immoral entertainments in movies (and the likes), along with negative and morally bankrupt media reporting which celebrates degenerate lifestyles - sinful acts, behaviors and relationships that were once taboo and abominable to social standards, are now accepted as "normal" by many.

That goes true too with each and every person's private life. Repetitive sinning takes a fool to a point of just mocking and teasing about the sin he commits. He turns his world upside down. He calls evil good and good evil. He puts darkness for light and light for darkness. He behaves with conceit and egocentricity. He is remorseless in doing so. But, it’s only for a fleeting moment. Sin is fatal. It can cost the fool timeless vacation in hell. His day of reckoning will come. Unless, he comes to his senses and turns around to come to Jesus with a humble heart.

But, the righteous and the upright, who by faith in Jesus - abide in the Lord's grace, will rejoice in his Father’s Kingdom. As it is written, Lord Jesus said: "And the angels will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in their Father’s Kingdom. Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand!" (Matthew 13:42, 43 NLT)

And I say, AMEN!
