Bible Question: In romans 1:18, what tells why we must take sin seriously? |
Bible Answer: The importance of taking Sin seriously is evident in nearly every verse you have asked about. Romans chapter 1 is one of personal interest to me. If you read from verse 18 on to the end of the chapter, Paul makes it crystal clear about the consequences of sin. Sin is more than simple disobedience or the small white lie. It has stages. Each stage building on the one prior. As Paul describes here, it begins with burying the truth revealed about God in unrighteousnes. It escellates to idolotry. Then to sexual immorality and homosexuality. It escellates further to depravity, and hatred of anything Godly. The final solution, without Christ's involvement, is death. It all begins here in verse 18 with God revealing his nature and feelings about sin. Jesus Loves you, Jesusman |
