You may not like it, you may vehemently disagree with it, you may not believe it, you may think it inappropriate, you may delude yourself that the God you believe in could never…
But you aren’t God. We are made in His image, we are part of His creation within creation, a creation brought about by His sheer will and words. A PERFECT creation that we destroyed by our will. Our rebellion. Our disobedience. To one simple request. One simple requirement destroyed Paradise, eternal life, and perfection within creation. Our turning from God to listen to, allow ourselves to be enticed, deceived, and seduced by a lie.
When you are God, you can make the rules.
And it isn’t about rules, do this, don’t do that. It’s only about, always been about what is RIGHT and what is WRONG. What is BEST for us and what will HARM us, DESTROY us. And, tragically, the overwhelming majority refuse to ever see this, hear this, believe this, understand this, and then do something about it.
God knows best. Even though most individuals delude themselves into thinking they are the ones who know what is best for them.
“God’s wrath is His righteousness reacting against unrighteousness.”
J.I. Packer
EXACTLY!
God has no part, cannot have any part in sin, evil, or unrighteousness. Oh, He permits it. That He does. From the moment in the Garden to this very moment, what is taking place within every heart, every mind on earth.
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.”
God’s Wrath on Unrighteousness
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.
Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.
Romans 1:16-32
Each individual has choice. Free choice. Each person decides their eternal fate. Sadly, there is only a remnant compared to the overall population at any one time that seeks the way of the LORD, that sees Him, hears Him, turns to Him in repentance and submission, understanding things. Getting it.
These are labeled as uneducated. Ignorant. Not hip. Not with it.
The world always gets almost everything backwards, upside down, and wrong. Just the way it is.
Where are you, dear one, friend, alien, foe, enemy of God, your Creator? Where are you, professed Christian, going through the motions, believing it is what you do, your works, all the business, and this and that, along with that shiny cross around your neck that validates you?
Is it truly all about Jesus, all about God, all about the Holy Spirit, all about the whole Word of God?
Or something else?
Hummm…
God’s wrath on unrighteousness is coming. Likely sooner than a lot later.
Maybe, just saying, if not right in His sight? Maybe today is the day to change that. It’s your choice, dear one, friend, foe, alien to Him and His righteousness. Your choice. Your eternity. Whether you believe that or not.
But why gamble? Think gamblers are winners?
Hummm…

God‘s Wrath on Unrighteousness
A Broadcast with Ligonier Ministries

Every sin is a challenge to God’s absolute right to reign over His creation. From his sermon series in Romans, today R.C. Sproul considers the defiance of sin, the judgment it deserves, and the need we all share for Christ to deliver us from divine wrath.
