They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.” This is what God thinks about the fool according to the Preacher’s Outline and Sermon Bible. “God’s indictment against humanity begins by referring to the most wicked among sinners: the fool (nabal). Of the three Hebrew words for fool in the Old Testament, this is the strongest. This is the person who has descended to the depths of depravity, one who is morally reprehensible and completely unconcerned about others. Being totally void of conscience, the wicked individual preys on others. Notice how the fool is described: Fools ignore the fact that there is a God and that they are accountable to Him. In their hearts, they deny the reality of God. They make a deliberate decision not to accept God’s revealed truth even though God has placed the knowledge of Himself within the heart of every individual (2 Peter 3:5). He reveals His existence to us in the world He created. Nature itself triggers our inner awareness of God. Fools reject God’s revelation to them and live as if God does not exist. They break God’s moral laws without fear of God’s judgment, never considering the fact that they are going to be held accountable for their conduct (Romans 2:18). They live as if God is not watching…but He is. The Bible records the end result for the “fool” in Romans 1:21, “Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.” Dear friends, don’t be a “fool” by ignoring the clear revelation of the God who loves you and cares for you and wants to save you forever. Why not open up your heart and allow Him to come in and bring you out of your darkness and into His marvelous light? |
