    Who Needs the Gospel (part 2)

    8. Romans 1:26-31; For this cause GOD gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature. And likewise also men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was fit. 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 fitting or proper. Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malice, whisperers, backbiters, haters of GOD, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful; who knowing the judgment of GOD, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

    9. Behaving in ungodly ways leads to idolatry which is always accompanied by sexual perversion. Homosexuality is the result of idolatry. Increased homosexuality is a sign of the soon return of the LORD. 2 Tim 3:1-7; This know also that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, truce breakers, false accusers, without self-control, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of GOD; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof; from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with diverse lusts. Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

    10. Ignoring GOD’s verdict: Romans 1:32; Sinful man is not unaware of GOD or GOD’s displeasure with this rebellion and these activities. Sinful man is fully cognizant of the consequences of their sin, yet they continue to defy GOD and take pleasure in keeping company with those who do the same. Sinful man is never without a witness to the presence and personality of GOD. (1) Witness of nature; (2) Witness of their own conscience. Sinful man deliberately suppresses the truth and has opted for a lie, chosen idolatry which is always accompanied by debauchery. GOD has revealed HIS wrath in the recorded Old Testament dealing with Israel/Judah as well as in the WORD of the New Testament. GOD has given them up to idolatry, passions of infamy, and to unapproving and undiscerning minds.

    11. 2 Chronicles 36: 14-16; Moreover all the leaders and priests and the people transgressed more and more, according to all the abominations of the nations, and defiled the house of the LORD which HE had consecrated in Jerusalem. And the LORD GOD of the fathers sent to them messengers again and again; because HE had compassion on HIS people, and on HIS dwelling place. But they mocked the messengers of GOD,, and despised HIS words, and misused HIS prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against HIS people, till there was no remedy.


    12. Thank GOD for HIS grace and mercy. Rom 3:23; for all have sinned and come short of the glory of GOD; Rom 6:23; for the wages of sin is death; but the gift of GOD is eternal life through JESUS CHRIST our LORD. Rom 5:6; But GOD displayed HIS love toward us, in that, while were yet sinners, CHRIST died for us. John 3:16; For GOD so loved the world that HE gave HIS only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in HIM should not perish, but have everlasting life. Rom 10:9-11, 13; That if thou shall confess with thy mouth the LORD JESUS and shall believe in thy heart that GOD has raised HIM from the dead, thou shall be saved. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture says, whosoever believes on HIM shall not be ashamed. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the LORD shall be saved.
