Sermon Tone Analysis

Were going to *continue* with the *book of ROM *and were going to pick up right where we left off last time.

*I.

**/ROM 1:26/*

              *A.

*To get the *full picture *of what’s going on we *need to go back and start reading with* (*/V 19/*).

*1.

**/V 19‑20/*

                                  *a.

*(*/V 20/*) explains (*/V 19/*).

*b.

All invisible things,* even God and all His power, are *clearly seen by *through *visible things.

*

                                  *          **i.

In other words* there is *no excuse *for people *to be ignorant of invisible things.

*

                                  *          **ii.

*There is *no excuse for people not receiving the Lord *Jesus Christ.

*                   **iii.

Even* for those *people* that *never hear* about* Jesus.

*

                                  *          **iv.

*He said there is *no excuse.*

*c.

*It’s *not God’s fault* that those *people didn’t hear, it’s ours* for not winning more to the Lord and for sending missionaries out.

*          **2.

**/V 21‑24/*

                        *          **a.

*These *men chose* to *give up God and worship* the *creation, God *could *do nothing but* to *turn them over to *those *sinful things.

*

*                                   **b.

God* will *not violate man’s will*.

*B.

**/V 25/*

                        *1.

*The *Truth of God*, is the *Gospel of God.

*

                        *2.

*They have *changed the Gospel* of God *into something* that it is *not,* by doing so they *change* the *Gospel into a lie.

*

                                  *a.

*Which is *not really the Gospel.

*

     *II.

**/V 26‑27/*

*/ /*

*/ /*

              *A.

*I don’t know *how someone *that *calls themselves a Christian *can *think that homosexuality is OK, and *even* practice it.

*

                        *1.

*These *Vs *are *very clear.

*

                        *2.

If* you *look up* the *words in the Greek* that *talk about* *homosexuality* *they mean*:

                                  *a.

/Dishonorable/, **/ultimate conclusion/,* */shameful/,* */against nature/,* */vile/,* */unseemly/,* */error/, **/guilty of shameful conduct/,* */degrading/,* */unnatural/,* */a shameful act/,* */wrong doing/,* */going astray/,* */perverted/,* */disgrace/,* */reproach/,* */abnormal/,* *and **/perverse/.*

*b.

*The */end/* of (*/ROM 1:27/*)* *Says, “*/And receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet/*.

(*KJV*)

                                           *i.

*The */WAY/ translation* says, “*/Receiving in their own bodies the wages of their transgression which they richly deserved/*.”

*ii.

*The */AMP/ *says, “*/Suffering in their own bodies/* */and personalities the inevitable consequences and penalty of their wrong doing/*.”

*iii.

That tells me* that *because* of their *immoral and perverse life style*, they have *opened the door* for every *sickness and disease*.

*B.

**/V 28/*

                        *1.

*(*/ROM 1:28/*) (*/RSV/*) “*/And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a base mind or rejected mind and to improper conduct/*.”

(*RSV*)

                                  *a.

*If they’re *not* going to *submit to God*, God will just *turn them over to Satan.*

                                  *b.

*In (*/1 Corinthians 5:5/*) Paul says, “*/To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus/*.”

(*/KJV/*)

              *C.

**/V 29-32/*

                        *1.

*This *V *is telling us that if we *habitually practice* those things (the Greek bears that out)* and take pleasure* in those who practice them are *worthy of death.*

*                                  **a.

*Thank God if we were 1 of these people we can repent.

*b.

*(*/1JO 1:9/*)* *Says, “*/If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us {our} sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness/*.”

(*/KJV/*)

     *III.

**/ROM 2:1-3/*

              *A.

*In these *Vs *we read that *we are not to judge someone or we might be guilty of the same crime.*

*1.

*Paul is trying to *get across* to us that *we should not judge, and why should we, God* who knows all the facts *will judge.

*

                                  *a.

*Now that’s *not *saying that you’re *to be blind.*

You’re *not* going to be *ignorant of sin.

*

                                  *b.

*In (*/2CO 6:14/*) Paul said, “*/For what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness?

and what communion hath light with darkness/*?”

                                           *i.

*In these *Vs* he’s *telling us not to be unequally yoked* together.

*ii.

*You’ve got to *judge*, to the *sense of knowing* what is *right and* what is *wrong*.

*iii.

Judging* someone in the sense that *Paul is talking about* here *would be to condemn*, *punish*, *avenge*, *damn*, or *determine sentence*.

*iv.

*You *don’t condemn someone for what* they are *doing and *you *don’t determine what *their *sentence should be.

*

                                                     *1.

*All you’re to do is to* recognize whether it is sin or not.

If it is decide* that you will *have no part of that which is wrong.

*

              *B.

**/V 4/*

                        *1.

*It’s *God’s goodness, kindness, forbearance, tolerance, long-suffering, and patience *that *leads people to repentance.

*

                                  *a.

*Notice that (*/V 4/*) says that *His goodness LEADS people to repentance*.

*b.

God does not drive or force* *people to come to Him*.

                                           *i.

*He *continually leads us and guides us* *to* come unto *Him*.

*ii.

*That *even goes for* *those* that are *serving Him*.

*He leads us* and *guides us* *to follow Him* and *leads us in the paths of righteousness*.

*C.

**/V 5/*
