Subject: Who is revealing God's wrath? |
Bible Note: wick08, It seems to me, that in Romans 1, that the depravity being spoken of in Romans 1:26 is clearly God's punishment for their idolatry. Now from a more complete biblical study we know that there was already an existing depravity that spurred this sin, but here we seem to see God allowing a further depravity as punishment. It is important to note this is not God putting a greater sin into their hearts, but rather this is God letting up on his actively restraining the sin already there. So the punishment is God ceasing to restrain, so that they heap up greater judgment upon themselves. However, I suspect that the revelation of God's wrath referred to in this chapter could possibly extend beyond chapter one. In Christ, Beja |
