Romans 1:32 and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them.
These who abide in God’s wrath know it is right for God to put to death a person who practices unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; and who is full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; and who are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, and unmerciful, but it not only doesn’t stop them from doing these things, it also don’t stop them from approving of and celebrating others who do them. In other words, birds of a feather stick together. Regardless of the pressure we receive from our culture to approve and celebrate the depraved behaviors listed here, we cannot in truth and love condone what God condemns.
Those who live to love with Jesus will also stick with others who walk by faith and live with Him. Let us today give thanks to God for our brothers and sisters in Christ. May we approve of them and celebrate the life and love of Jesus that we enjoy together.
