Let Us NOT Mock or Tempt God

There are many religions and much religiosity in our world, and there are, also, many who scoff at any accountability to God, even at His very existence. Let us all repent of all our rejection of God and His ways, that we not taunt nor tempt Him to deal with us as He has disciplined His Chosen People, the Jews down through the millennia. Ezekiel 5 shows us another of God's warnings to them, about all their self-centered attitudes and behaviors that went against His Word, and the righteous consequences that He would eventually end up heaping on them, to warn, punish, and correct them, AND for our learning, that we might trust and honor God and His Christ, and NOT make the same mistakes that His People made. Yet, except for a few earnest God-fearing souls here and there around the world, at large, we human beings have not learned those painful lessons and we continue on in our self-centered rejection of God's ways. We must repent of our sin and accept God's only plan of salvation, or there is no hope for our redemption for all eternity.
