Good Morning “Truth of God Seers”! Today we begin Romans with chapter 1.
How could a good God send someone to Hell who has never heard about Him? First of all the question makes incorrect assumptions to begin with. Because of sin and our sin nature, the DEFAULT is hell. We’re already going. That’s the destination for the unrepentant sinner period. God gave us a different option - Jesus. And… Scripture speaks to the fact that we ALL know God exists without someone even telling us. Check it out… You ready?
“The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.” Romans 1:18-20 NIV
Creation echos His name. As a result we ought each seek Him out. Apart from deception, rejection of Truth, acceptance of lies, and embracing totally unlikely scenarios it’s plain to see! Because we are control freaks, unwilling to yield our lives to a Holy God who has expectations for the way we live - we will cling to any belief system that leaves us in control of our own lives. We’ll welcome any system that lets us live the way we want to live, convincing ourselves it’s somehow good! Unfortunately some even distort The Truth and expectation of Gods Word to this end.
Paul wrote this letter to the church in Rome, while he was in Corinth… sometime around Acts 20. It is jam packed with application for us today! Check it out! Pay special attention to the descriptions of the 3 levels of the decent of man. Years ago, there was a general agreement regarding right and wrong. We could not imagine a world in which we would begin to justify, condone and give approval to sin. We’re here! Isn’t that the norm in our world today? There is an applicable warning originally given to the nation of Israel that applies here!
“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.” Isaiah 5:20 keep going in Isaiah…
If we read on we see that The Lord loves His people and as such - He will not let their turning away go uncorrected.
“Therefore the Lord’s anger burns against his people; his hand is raised and he strikes them down. The mountains shake, and the dead bodies are like refuse in the streets. Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away, his hand is still upraised.” Isaiah 5:25 NIV
Check out the rest of Romans 1. Look at the collection of sins noted there and consider where we… where you fit. It’s one thing to be caught up in sin, but quite another to start saying it’s ok - to normalize it.
Love you all! Dig in and live it out!
