“Did Not See Fit…

Blessings folk!

The balance of Romans 1 is one sentence.

Read.

Consider what they had become after God gave them over…this is the third statement of the phrase “God gave them over”…

Rom 1:28-32
And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper,
being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips,
slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents,
without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful;
and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them.


Why did God give them over?

Because they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer.
They rejected God.
Remember, they knew Him…within and without.
Yet, they refused to acknowledge.

What did they receive?

A depraved mind.
Depraved to do what?
Things which are not proper.

Read the passage again.
Note what we learn about…
“filled”…
“full of”…
“they are”…

To what do they give “hearty approval”?

Ask the Lord what He is saying to you.
