God's Wrath Revealed and Man's Shocking Response
The theme that the apostle Paul introduces in Romans 1:18 and continues through the rest of the chapter is certainly an unpopular one in the 21st century. And it is the wrath of God. Some deny the truthfulness and integrity of Scripture, so they outright reject the idea of the wrath of God. Others believe there is no way a loving God could act in such a way. And there are those who simply downplay and ignore the wrath of God, like it doesn’t even exist. But we, as Christians, must always ask: What does the Bible say? In this series, Pastor Tom gives an in-depth explanation of God and His wrath and how all mankind knows God yet, shockingly, responds by suppressing that truth. Join Tom Pennington as he explains from Romans 1 God's Wrath Revealed and Man's Shocking Response.
Part 5
There are many atheists in the world who deny the existence of God, and they do so for a variety of reasons. There are also agnostics who doubt the existence of God for many other reasons. But one of the primary reasons for their denial of God in both cases is that there simply isn’t enough evidence of God. But according to the apostle Paul in Romans 1, God has given evidence of Himself in the world that He has created.
Part 6
God, in His Word, has told us that He has made himself known to all mankind through what theologians call “general revelation,” that is, through creation, conscience, and providence. But because of man’s sinfulness, we have suppressed this great truth, rejected God, and chosen our own rebellious, sinful ways
Part 7
So far in our study of Romans 1, Pastor Tom has helped us understand two key realities: 1) God’s wrath is a biblical doctrine, and it must be understood and believed; and 2) all mankind knows God exists through what God has revealed of Himself in the created world. But rather than graciously responding to God’s revelation of Himself, all mankind suppresses that truth and does not give Him glory.
Part 8
In Romans 1:18–20, the apostle Paul teaches that the existence of God has been abundantly made clear in His creation, in nature. Therefore, all mankind knows God exists, yet, according to Romans 1, utterly rejects him. And this rejection isn’t accidental but a willful, informed rejection of the one true God.
Part 9
Rather than seeking after and submitting to the God of the Bible, all mankind rejects the truth about Him and desires to live in a way that is antithetical to the Bible. In doing so, mankind creates worldviews that are opposed to what God has revealed in Scripture and His Son, Jesus Christ. In Romans 1, the apostle makes this very point: unredeemed humanity would rather worship the created things of this world than the God of this world.
