Modern Ungodliness 💔:
I'm in the book of Romans chapter one and verses are catching my eyes. Mainly because they speak about Gods wrath against mankind and the ungodliness of mankind.
Let's break down Romans 1:18-21 🧏🏾♀️:
"The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened."
The verse starts off with, "the wrath of God is being revealed" and even though the book was written years and years ago, that line of verse couldn't be more present. In these times, now, God is revealing His wrath against all the ungodly.
God is present and visible to us everywhere but unbelievers choose to deny and neglect the fact that God is so real.
Although the lukewarm and church going religious people claim to know God, He doesn't know them. That might ruffle some feathers but that's okay. I'm here to teach the truth not what sounds good to the ears of this world. A lot of church going people won't make it to heaven. Why? Simply because their hearts don't belong to God. They're in on Sunday but so out on the rest of the week.
And let's talk about the people who preach "religion" and not "relationship" Preaching religion is simply saying that all that matters to God is your performance. Your work. That's why the word of God says,
Matthew 7:22
"Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?"
This is performance. Now I'm not saying don't read your bible, I'm not saying not to fellowship or not to do anything that brings glory to God. That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that God wants a relationship with you. Seek Him and to hear His voice. Be intimate with God.
Romans 1:22-23
"Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles."
This verse pinpoints the "woke" movement. The movement that speaks on worshipping ancestors. The movement that calls black people gods. The movement that has tried to clump together every piece of nothing to prove that God isn't sovereignty overall. But, it has not worked.
And the images portraying to be Jesus are completely false. We shouldn't map out our interpretation of how Jesus looked because then it would be deemed false.
Romans 1:24-25
"Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen."
What do we see in today's society? The constant normalization of fornication. Sex outside of marriage. The most hated conversation topic but so true. The part where it says, "They exchanged the truth about God for a lie" Constantly twisting the words of the word of God to simply justify their sinful actions.
Romans 1:26-27
"Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error."
If you ever doubted if relations, sexual relations with the opposite sex was a sin, here's your answer.
This word was a lot 🔥. But God needed to get that out. When we hear the word of God and we are convicted, it's so a circumcision of our heart can take place.
I love you all but God loves you more ❤️.
