Bible Reading: Romans 1: 18 - 32
Topic: Holding The Truth In Unrighteousness
The reading today shows us
the subtle ways in which apostasy grows.
What is Apostasy?
It is the renunciation of
a religious faith or abandonment of a previous conviction and loyalty.
The World today is filled
with religious and moral apostasy.
Homosexuality and
Lesbianism have gained legality in many Countries today, and as if that is not
enough, these heinous evils are seeking global approval even in the churches
How did that degree of
apostasy start?
It started as our passage
today shows us by "people holding the truth in unrighteousness" (v.
18) - that is religious hypocrisy and sinful permissiveness.
Again it started by People
not matching their lives with the theoretical knowledge of God they profess
(vs. 21 - 23) and then it escalated into a full deliberate lie and reprobate
mind (vs. 24 - 28)
Therefore let us watch our
lives and ask God to deal with every moral weakness in us before it escalates
into apostasy.
Let's examine ourselves to
see if there is any way we are holding the truth in unrighteousness. If we
don't, we shall fall into the same error of apostasy.
Prayer:
Lord, deliver me from the
unfortunate life of holding the truth in unrighteousness, Amen
Memory verse: Romans 1: 16
"For the wrath of God
is revealed from Heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who
hold the truth in unrighteousness."
