1. God Is Not Mocked
Galatians 6:7

2. Be Not Deceived
Many are self-deceived into thinking that they can live anyway they want and not be held accountable by God … they “mock” God
Pharoah (Ex. 5:2) and the fool (Psa. 14:1) mocked God in OT times
Mockers are found in NT times as well (Lk. 16:14; 23:35; Jude 14-15,18)

3. Be Not Deceived
In 1912, an employee of the White Star Line was asked how safe the Titanic would be; his response, “Not even God can sink it…”
In 1966, John Lennon of the Beatles said, “Christianity will end, it will disappear. I do not have to argue about that. I am certain. Jesus was okay, but his subjects were too simple. Today, we are more famous than him…”

4. What Does It Mean to Mock God?
Gr. mukterizo = to turn up the nose at; sneer at; treat with contempt

8. Why God is Not Mocked God makes all the laws, not man (Psa. 103:19)
God is all-present, all-knowing, all-powerful, and all-holy … you cannot escape him, deceive him, or outsmart him (Psa. 139; Heb. 4:12-13)
God’s law cannot be broken or ignored with impunity (Rom. 2:6-9; Heb. 2:2-3; 10:36-38)
God is not mocked … so don’t even try it!
