Introduction
Why do we do what we do?
Why does it seem like we get caught up in sin so easily, and can’t escape?
How can something that feels natural be condemned by God? How can those who have never heard of Jesus be condemned for doing what feels right to them?
The Wrath of God is revealed against those who _suppress_ the truth.
Romans 1:18-
The truth has been revealed in _creation_.
When we do not worship the true God, we will worship _something_.
God’s judgment is to give them over to _total depravity_
His wrath is revealed by not stopping their sin.
Isn’t it amazing how their judgment is being given exactly what they wanted?
A parent or a spouse who would say “I’m done with you.
Just do what you want!” Has ventured far beyond love.
Restraint is proof of concern.
The first punishment God gives us for our sin is letting us have it, we become totally sinful: body, soul and spirit.
Isn’t it amazing how their judgment is being given exactly what they wanted?
Romans 1:24-
The fundamental error is worshipping the creation instead of the creator.
Like in Egypt, they worshipped the river, the sky and the sun, so God judged them all.
But the creation we worship which leads to those other sins is self.
When we worship self, and pretend we are God, there is nothing we will not do.
Those who sinned in their spirits were released to sin in their _bodies_.
Romans 1:26-
One of the clearest indicators of our spiritual condition is what we love.
Those who sinned in their bodies were released to sin in their _hearts_.
Romans 1:28
Look at some of the things in this list, right along homosexuality!
How does God feel about heterosexual sin (fornication), greed, envy, divorce (covenant-breakers), hard heartedness and unmercifulness?
Those who sinned in their hearts were released to sin in their _minds_.
Conclusion
The solution is not to educate people to change their hearts to change their behavior, but to have a new birth in the Spirit.
When worship is right, what we want to do will be different, what we love will be different and how we think will be different.
The solution to the ways God has given us over to our sin is a change in our very core.
God is too holy to compromise his wrath.
But not only did He give humanity over TO sin, He gave His Son up FOR sin.
