James 4:8,9 (KJV)
8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness

While Jesus was on earth, he rode on an ass into Jerusalem, as it was prophesied of. All people will one day bow down to and worship the Lord God, if not in this life, but in judgement.
The things that were previously mentioned concerning the people of Jerusalem also apply to us. We will not get a free pass just because we say we believe in Jesus.
Everyone that does not abide by the commands of God will be punished. To live in your own way of life is also living apart from the Lord and telling Him He does not matter.
Be careful! Unless you read the Bible, chapter by chapter, and keep this up daily, you may easily take God’s Word out of context.
