Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
Whenever the question is asked, “Where was God in such and such tragedy” there you have echoes of the past in which Cain declared that the results of his actions were unfair and there are reverberations even in our day to that mode of thought. Thus, Cain set into motion a host of evils that have haunted the human family for centuries. And as we approach earth’s final climax, the problems will only become more severe and difficult to deal with.
Thus, God saw fit to include the issue of godly training as one of the areas we will need to address, as His coming draws near. The scriptures give us several examples of disrespect so that persons may understand the nature, and the seriousness of the problem. It’s not an issue pertaining only to the secular and godless, it is one that affects the remnant people of God too because throughout history and even in our day Cain’s ways, his words, ideologies and perspectives have permeated all echelons of our society.
Four examples of disrespect will be given in various categories because as we have previously shown, the problem is not only restricted to that of answering back parents in inappropriate ways. The issue includes a blatant disregard for God-ordained authority, including secular governments, school teachers, pastors and elders.
Proverbs 30:10 Accuse not a servant unto his master, lest he curse thee, and thou be found guilty. 11 There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
