Romans 1:18-32
1) The Truth of God is suppressed by our wickedness. We are what is wrong with this world in our natural/fleshly state.
a) God’s anger/wrath towards sin is central to His righteous character.
b) We will all eventually stand spiritually naked before God to give account for actions in the flesh; both good and bad.
c) We will be judged by God’s standard of righteousness and not our own understanding of righteousness.
2) American culture is consumed with sexual immorality and pornography.
a) We are called to raise a standard of righteousness; to be salt and light to an ungodly generation and an encouragement to fellow believers in Jesus Christ.
b) Any culture that approves of a homosexual lifestyle and sexual promiscuity is in an advanced stage of moral corruption.
c) God gives us over to the desires of our heart when we reject His Truth; lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh, and the pride of life.
3) We are called to preach the Gospel to all men and to make disciples for Christ.
a) Our worldly friends/family are destined for hell and damnation/eternal separation from God.
b) Deception and hollow doctrine will dominate and trap those who refuse to worship God in Spirit and in Truth.
c) Salvation is passing from spiritual death to life. It is the power of the Holy Spirit releasing us from the power and dominion of sin and spiritual death.
We know the secular world suppresses the righteousness of God in wickedness. In what ways does the modern American church do the same thing by preaching a non-Biblical version of the Gospel?
