The Rejection Of God And Sexual Immorality

The Apostle Paul tells us that as a result of the fall of man we are all born in sin and do sin as soon as we are able after birth. Jesus came to pay the price for sin. Those who in faith believe in Jesus for forgiveness of their sins and obey him, will be forgiven and receive Jesus' righteousness.

Those who do not believe in Jesus for the forgiveness of sins and obey him, are under the wrath of God. Paul  gives us examples of what such people do. There is no excuse for rejecting and denying God because God has made it clear to us that he exists.

In our nation and around the world we are seeing the results of the rejection of God by the masses. It is getting worse day by day. Jesus loves to forgive, but we are each responsible to repent and obey him. If you have not turned away from you sins to follow Christ, please do so before your heart becomes so hardened that you cannot be saved. The path of sin just gets worse and worse. There is no bottom and that is why we have been given short lives, then we will be judged on what we did with Jesus and his commands.

I write this as a chief of sinners who found Christ's forgiveness when I repented and started following him. True life, peace and joy have been the results even though I have many trials.

Romans 1 ISV

16For I am not ashamed of the gospel,m because it is God’s power for the salvation of everyone who believes, of the Jew first and of the Greek as well. 17For in the gospeln God’s righteousness is being revealed from faith to faith, as it is written, “The righteous will live by faith.”o

18For God’s wrath is being revealed from heaven against all the ungodliness and wickedness of those who in their wickedness suppress the truth. 

• 19For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God himself has made it plain to them. 
• 20For since the creation of the world God’sp invisible attributes—his eternal power and divine nature—have been understood and observed by what he made, so that peopleq are without excuse. 
• 21For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him. 
• Instead, their thoughts turned to worthless things,r and their senseless hearts were darkened. 
• 22Though claiming to be wise, they became fools 
• 23and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images that looked like mortal human beings, birds, four-footed animals, and reptiles.

24For this reason, 

• God delivered them to sexual impurity as they followed the lustss of their hearts and dishonored their bodies with one another. 25They exchanged God’s truth for a lie and worshipped and served the creation rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

26For this reason, 

• God delivered them to degrading passions 
• as their females exchanged their natural sexual function for one that is unnatural. 
• 27In the same way, their males also abandoned their natural sexual function toward females and burned with lust toward one another. 
• Males committed indecent acts with males, and received within themselves the appropriate penalty for their perversion.t

28Furthermore, 

• because they did not think it worthwhile to keep knowing God fully, 
• God delivered them to degraded minds to perform acts that should not be done. 
• 29They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed, and depravity. 
• They are full of envy, murder, quarreling, deceit, and viciousness. 
• They are gossips, 30slanderers, God-haters, haughty, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, 
• disobedient to their parents, 31foolish, faithless, heartless, and ruthless. 

32Although they know God’s just requirement—that those who practice such things deserve to die—they not only do these things but even applaud others who practice them.
