Romans 1:18-23
Observations
1. The revealing of righteousness saves from the revealed wrath.
The contrasting kinds of action: revealing wrath, suppressing truth.
-In this action, we see the opposite of “on earth as it is in heaven.”
-“Against” this rebellion, “from heaven” wrath is revealed.
Active Judgment & Passive Judgment
2. Truth suppression + knowledge = responsibility.
3. God is not trying to hide.
4. We should not be rebels because we can see that . . .
-God is a good Creator.
-He is in charge of what he makes.
-His creation and our place in it is a blessing.
5. With the light of our eyes dimming, we foolishly exchange the
Creator for the creation.
Application
1. Are you learning what God has revealed?
2. Check your sin; check your shame.
3. Delight in God!
