PAGANS WITH A PURPOSE: ROMANS 1:21-32 KJV
PAGANS WITH A PURPOSE:
ROMANS 1:21-32 KJV
By LeighAnn Mycko
Pagans reject the God of the Bible as the One true and living God.
In Romans 1:21-32, Paul teaches us how the pagans got to be the way they are, which began at the tower of Babel.
Paul basically tells us that the Gentile nations didn't want to do what their Creator told them to do. So, they turned the truth of God into a LIE, and served and worshipped the creature more than the Creator.
They began serving the lusts of their own hearts, which in turn, led them to worship themselves, and even other gods.
And, ever since the tower of Babel, the devil has had the Gentile nations on that same course, i.e. Satan's LIE Program (creature worship), even unto this present time. Eph. 2:2-3 KJV.
It would behoove every Christian to study Romans 1:21-32 KJV with a sober mind, and prayerfully consider the progressive pattern Paul lays for us on HOW THE PAGAN GOT THAT WAY, in order to avoid those patterns at all costs.
ROMANS 1:21:32 KJV
Apostle Paul Writes To The
Church The Body of Christ:
Romans 1:21 (KJV) Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a LIE, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 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:
27 And likewise also the 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 meet.
28 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 convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 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.
