You Can't
Get Away
With It
“Do not be deceived; God is
not mocked, for whatever a man
sows, that he will also reap.”
Galatians 6:7.
Have you ever wondered what
was meant by the words, “God
is not mocked”?
As a parent there are certain
rules that I have had to estab
lish for the good of my chil
dren. Some of these rules don’t
seem very reasonable to them.
I think he has obeyed this rule.
For instance, my son doesn't see
why he can’t ride his bicycle to
town. I think he has obeyed this
rule. I don’t think he has ridden
his bike to town. But if he has
ridden his bike to town, and I
haven’t found out about it, he
has mocked me. If he were to
ride to town in my full view, he
would be mocking me also. To
willfully disobey one in author
ity is to mock. Another way
of saying “mock” is “show dis
respect for.”
We as human beings mock
God when we sin. His laws are
set before us in unmistakable
fashion. When we willfully
break these laws, we mock, or
show disrespect for God. God
is different from a human fath
er. Law-breaking can’t be hid
den from Him. Therefore, be
assured that your sins will
catch up with you.
1. Your sins may catch up
with you physically. Paul says
in the verse following our text
for today, “For he who sows to
his own flesh will from the
flesh reap corruption . . .”
There are certain sins, when
committed, which result in di
rect physical deterioration of
the sinner. One who over-in
dulges in alcoholic beverages
invites decay of certain intern
al organs. Venereal disease, one
of the most horrifying of all
human physical diseases, is
often the result of sinful sexual
behaviour.
Not only may sin cause dam
age to the body, it may also
cause its death. When Paul said
"the wages of sin is death,” he
was speaking in spiritual terms.
But the same can be applied to
many people on physical terms.
Did you know that while 576
thousand Americans were being
killed in wars since 1900, over
a million and a half were killed
on the highways. Irresponsible
behaviour behind the steering
wheel accounted for a large per
centage of those highway
deaths. Drinking, speed, cars
unfit for the road are all sinful.
It is no wonder that as we have
inherited the wind, we are reap
ing the whirlwind. Also anger,
or greed, or jealousy, or envy,
or hate often result in death.
2. Your sins may catch up
with you psychologically. There
is nothing worse than mental
agony. It can drive people out
of reality into a psychotic state.
Psychoses usualy begin with
guilt. A child hates a parent.
The parent dies. The guilt of
the hatred gnaws at the matur
ing mind. The sin of not hav
ing faith in God leads to a fear
of death. This grievous mental
state causes an agony which af
fects the character and person
ality of the person involved.
Covetousness is another sin
which destroys normal mental
processes. A person who is al
ways grasping for things that
other people have become ob
sessed with their desire to
possess what which he may
never be able to possess. The
frustration of being denied the
coveted things changes charac
ter and personality, re-arranges
the mind and upsets the psy-

chological balances.
3. Your sins may catch up ■
with you morally. Immorality is J
not a single wrong deed. It is j
a state of being created by a
continuous desecration of the '
holy laws of God. To break the I
laws of the Sabbath once or
twice is wrong, but it doesn’t
make a person immoral. How
ever to ignore God mocks him
and you can’t get away with it.
He created the church for peo
ple to worship Him and work
for Him. To work against the
church is to invite moral dis
aster to your life and the lives
of your loved ones. Really you j
are indicating that you don’t ;
really love anybody but yourself I
when you insistently and flag- J
rantly break God’s laws. Self
love is the greatest immortality
and it expresses itself in a thou
sand ways.
4. Your sins will catch up
with you—you can’t get away
with sinning. You are under
the condemnation of death al
ready. A repreive, gained for
you by Jesus Christ, awaits you.
But you must ask for it. You
must be appreciative enough of
it to seek to live according to
the will of God. TRY—that’s the
key word to the Christian life.
You are on death’s row, or may
be you are already walking the
last mile, or you might be al
ready in the electric chair. But
there is a reprieve being held
our for you. Won’t you, for the
love of God, accept it and be
saved ? Then your life will be
changed. You will have the
strength of Christian fellow
ship. You will have the desire
to worship and serve. You will
want to stand up for your Lord
in the arena and in the market
place. Sunday will be your holy
day. You will now willingly
give your life, for you have
found the secret of giving and
receiving.
A boy rushed to a train plat
form just in time to see the last
car pull away. “I guess you
didn’t run fast enough,” said
■ the agent. “I did, sir,” replied
i the boy, “I just didn’t start
I soon enough.” Don’t put off
turning to the Saviour from
, your sins. Start now! “Now is
the accepted time; behold, now
is the day of salvation.”
