And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient. (Romans 1:28)
The apostle Paul provides a chilling analysis of the process by which the human mind progresses through rejection of the evidence of God’s existence to ultimately worshiping the creature more than the Creator and finding pleasure only among those of like mind.
God has displayed His “eternal power and Godhead” since the creation of the world (Romans 1:20). Those who reject that clear physical evidence are “without excuse” since they do know God but will not recognize His existence and engage in such destructive thinking that “their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things” (Romans 1:21-23).
That foolish behavior so shifts their intellect that they serve “the creature more than the Creator” and wind up so distorting their lifestyle that they become unable to tell what gender God made them (Romans 1:24-28). Once that kind of behavior is sanctioned, their emotions become consumed with hatred of God and all things good, winding up inventing “evil things” and living within a godless world (Romans 1:29-31).
Having rejected the truth that God has openly displayed for everyone to see and having plunged into a foolish and damaging lifestyle that warps their intellect and emotions beyond repair, they can find pleasure only in those who live, think, and love as they do. All the while heaping a “treasure” of wrath that will be poured out upon them when the Creator returns (Romans 2:1-6). HMM III

Genesis 6:5…And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. Fallen nature, corrupt will, rebellious from birth. Without deliverance from such – decisions and choices tainted and polluted with sin. Brokenness and deliverance from the corrupt will allows man’s choices to be godly. Without brokenness and deliverance fallen man is and enemy to God. Romans 5:10…For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
The preaching and hearing of HIs Word is sharper than any two edged sword !
Don’t underestimate the power of the cross, it transcends all human thought !
God loves to save to the outermost. even you and me !
God in His wisdom often prepares a heart even in a child like faith
Faith like a mustard seed, how can it be that I am a child of the King ! Selah
What a most pleasant thought that we have a Shepherd to guide us in life. !
John 10 : 27, 28 My sheep listen to my voice. I know them and they follow Me and they know Me !
And I will give them eternal life and they shall never perish, neither shall one pluck them out of My hand. Imagine God the Father knows my name and saves me ! What more could I ever ask for ?
Psalm 23 : 1-6
