Scripture Focus: God’s Wrath Against Sinful Humanity
Romans 1:18–32
Paul writes that God’s wrath is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and wickedness—against those who suppress the truth through their unrighteousness. From the very beginning, God’s divine nature and eternal power have been made clear through creation, leaving humanity without excuse. Yet, though people knew God, they refused to honor or thank Him, turning instead to idolatry and self-deception.
As a result, God allowed them to follow their sinful desires, exchanging His truth for lies and worshiping creation rather than the Creator. Their rejection of God led to moral and spiritual corruption—hearts darkened, minds depraved, and lives consumed by greed, envy, violence, and pride. Despite knowing God’s righteous standards, they not only persisted in evil but approved of others who did the same.
Through this passage, Trey emphasizes both the seriousness of sin and the hope of redemption found only in the gospel—a truth believers can proclaim boldly and without shame.
