Romans 1:21-23 NASB For even though they knew God, they did not
honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations,
and their foolish heart was darkened. (22)
Professing to be wise, they became fools, (23) and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible
God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed
animals and crawling creatures.
Last
week we closed out the lesson talking about how man wants to put God into their
mold. People today want God to fit in to
their lives instead of putting God in His rightful place and living a life that
pleases Him. Today there is cultivation
of foolishness. The world rejects the
creator, even with the truth learned about God through creation people don’t
worship God.
The
world has created crazy theories to explain God away. They do this in an attempt to improve
society. Today, our teachers cannot
teach biblical morality but they can teach safe sex practices. Today, school nurses cannot pass out bibles
but can give out condoms. People worship
the creation without a thought about the creator. We have people who look to horoscopes and
astrology. We have people worshiping
animals, birds and other images. It is
sad, but true. Today an individual who
does something cruel to animals will get more time in jail then if they killed
another human being.
These
all stand as proof that man has rejected God.
We live in a wonderful world. We
live in a beautiful world and we should take care of it. We live in a world created by the one true
God. The God of Abraham, Isaac, and
Jacob. The God who has a son called
Jesus. The God who is the First part of
the Godhead.
God
the Father, Jesus the son, and the Holy Spirit.
All one and all the same.
It is God who created the earth and it is God who created man. It is God who put man in charge and made him steward of His creation.
