Not Acknowledge God?
Romans 1:28-32 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Though they know God’s righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.
Read the context: Romans 1
Ponder:
? "God" is perhaps one of the most frequently used words in human conversation. What then does it mean to "not acknowledge" God?
? Are these descriptions of human attitudes and behaviors really true?
? What are some things which demonstrate that we all know these attitudes and behaviors "ought not be done?"
? Even if we don't think of ourselves as "practicing these things," in what ways do we "give approval to those who practice them?"
? How do these things demonstrate a "debased mind?"
