A message from Pastor Mike
This is the first of the great ‘Therefore’ words in Romans, and it is a terrifying one. That is, God simply has to stop restraining our unrighteous behavior, and give us over to our own desires. Intentional suppression of the clear evidence of God results in our making-up of other gods, and with that, we redefine ‘good’ to fit our own broken preferences. Sexual immorality is a natural outflow of rejecting God and often perverts that which he defined as natural. Yet this is just one aspect of rejecting God, which leads to a mind that is ‘disqualified’ in all areas of righteous behavior. In fact, we openly approve of those who do unrighteousness. The terrifying reality is that might God will give us over to the broken behavior that we crave, solidifying our own unrighteousness.
