Romans 1:20-21 (NKJV) 20 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, 21 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.
We are living in a time when wrong is right, and right is wrong. Everything is backwards.
It’s not hard to see that much of the world seems to have gone crazy. Are you constantly amazed and shocked by the level of sin and immorality that you see around you? Even common sense seems not to be so common any longer.
As the world has very openly rejected God and His truth, the downhill slide of immorality seems to be accelerating. This is to be expected when God is driven out of every aspect of our societies and cultures.
A Godless society is destined to fall very deep into darkness and depravity. Hence, the things we see today in very large numbers around the globe.
You see, God offers His mercy to us freely. But when man largely rejects Him and His goodness over and over again, He will eventually give them over to the very things that they pursue; idolatry, murder, lust, greed, etc.
When this happens, we begin to see levels of sin and depravity that we may never have imagined could be so. And these very people eventually reap the results of their behavior.
Romans 1:26-27 (NKJV) 26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 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.
This is why it’s so important that we pray and seek God, living our lives as examples of His light, His love and His mercy, that we might rescue even one from the depravity that this world is falling into, just as we have been rescued by that very same love and mercy.
