God always warns before He disciplines. It’s our job as Christians (Christ followers) to speak the truth to a rebellious world. Even if they don’t listen, we have to continue to speak truth. It’s God’s will, it’s His consistency in warning others. We honor God by being obedient in speaking and displaying truth. We must always remember to do it with gentleness and respect. It’s not easy, but you will be honoring God in your consistency.
24 “But My people would not listen to Me. They kept doing whatever they wanted, following the stubborn desires of their evil hearts. They went backward instead of forward. 25 From the day your ancestors left Egypt until now, I have continued to send My servants, the prophets–day in and day out. 26 But My people have not listened to Me or even tried to hear. They have been stubborn and sinful–even worse than their ancestors.27 “Tell them all this, but do not expect them to listen. Shout out your warnings, but do not expect them to respond. 28 Say to them, ‘This is the nation whose people will not obey the Lord their God and who refuse to be taught. Truth has vanished from among them; it is no longer heard on their lips. 29 Shave your head in mourning, and weep alone on the mountains. For the Lord has rejected and forsaken this generation that has provoked His fury.’
Jeremiah 7:24-29
