SERIOUS
Today's reading: Ezekiel 5-8

"Then when they are exiled among the nations, they will remember me. They will recognize how grieved I am by their unfaithful hearts and lustful eyes that long for other gods. Then at last they will hate themselves for all their wickedness. They will know that I alone am the Lord and that I was serious when I predicted that all this would happen to them." Ezekiel 6:9-10 NLT

Serious-of or relating to a matter of importance; not joking or trifling; not easily answered or solved; having important or dangerous possible consequences.

God is serious about sin.

About how far it takes us away from Him and His wonderful plan for our lives as His children.

About how hurt we will be from playing with it.

About how much it will eventually cost us.

About the consequences sin leaves behind. Consequences that remain after forgiveness occurs. Consequences that touch lives--ours and those around us.

Are we as serious?
