Two questions I place before you: Is there a risk in GOD? Is there a risk in ungodly and unrighteous lives? Every person has their own level of acceptable risks. When a person does not see the risk being beyond it’s worth,they take it.” -Gerald Wilde Paul points out two troubling facts about our world: Humanity has what is in the place of what is right. Romans 1:26-28 “People interpret the Bible through the lens of emotion when they should be interpreting their emotions through the lens of Scripture.” -Dr. Michael Brown Paul writes about many other sins (“shameless acts”). These sins can be divided into categories: Sins Romans 1:27-28 Sins Romans 1:29 Sins Romans 1:29 Sins Romans 1:30 Sins Romans 1:30-31 There are two results of our substitutionary efforts: We live as a people with passions. We live as a people with actions. Humanity is on a path. Romans 1:29-32 This is painful to consider: People have suppressed the truth and rejected GOD for so long (generation after generation), that now they will for what is wrong. People are on a clear mission to others into their ways. Romans 1:32 Takeaway: GOD, I’m sorry for my desires over Your will. I’m sorry for attempting to my identity apart from Your design for me. I’m sorry for taking the to declare what’s good on myself. I’m sorry for seeking in self-fulfillment rather than from giving glory to You. I Jesus is Lord and turn over control to Him.
