Day 3

God speaks so clearly through His Word. What God has to say to us this week, as usual, is incredibly powerful. As we unpack Romans 1:18–32 this week, we will see the abundance of God’s grace but also His judgment. As we begin in Romans 1:18–20, the first thing that jumps out to us is that God does not overlook sin, and His wrath is revealed f...

It’s truly amazing how arrogant and prideful the entire human race can be, especially when we choose to ignore God and His Word. As a human race, we can come up with all sorts of “gods” that we choose to worship. The problem with our false gods is that we control them. We contrive in our minds what our false gods expect from us, and we think ...

God repeats His Truth so that we do not miss what He wants us to obey each day. An excellent example of God repeating the exact phrase is in Romans 1:24, Romans 1:26, and Romans 1:28. The phrase “gave them over” is so important that God had Paul repeat this phrase three times. As we have seen over the past two devotions is that God has made H...

So, we should not be surprised when we still see men and women today exchanging their God-gi...

When God led Paul to write the book of Romans, Paul wrote it from the city of Corinth, where every sort of sexual immorality and ritualistic prostitution was practiced freely. The terminology of Romans 1:24 refers to this combination of sexual immorality and idol worship. In Romans 1:18–32, God had Paul describe the sin and corruption of the ...

God loves every person He has created and those still yet to be created. God loves us so much that He chose us even before the world was created (Ephesians 1:4, 2 Thessalonians 2:13). As God, through Christ, laid down His life for us, He desires us to choose Him in the same way He has already chosen us. But as we continue to walk through Roma...

As we finish out this week’s devotions on Romans 1:18–32, we find God clarifying for us that all of those who have completely rejected Him have been filled with an abundance of sinful passions. Many people only focus on the sexual sin declared in Romans 1:24–28. But God lets us know that all of those who do not see fit to acknowledge Him as t...
