The sin of Despising

“Where in have we despised your name?” Mal1:6

                To despise God is one of the greatest sins in the scripture. God is to be feared. He is to be reverenced. To be awed. To despise is the opposite, it means “to take lightly.” If you want to please God you must honor Him. That means “weight” that God has substance in your life.

                There are many that claim to be a Christian but despise God. They do not come to church and join the “Bride” and “Body of Christ” as instructed. They do not “continue in His word” with daily reading. They do not tell others or seek to save other souls. They are content in “their faith.” Giving to God what you want to give Him and not what He asks you to give Him is the essence of despising.

                Don’t take the easy way in life. Don’t take the short cuts or the cheap outs. Put God first and most important. He deserves more than our scraps. Many make church their last Sunday option. How can we not treasure the Bible?
