BIBLICAL INSPIRATION

Romans 1 serves as Paul’s theological treatise, explaining why God’s condemnation of humanity is justified, the imperative need for salvation, and the nature of what humanity requires salvation from. In Romans 1:18-32, the apostle Paul elaborates on the divine wrath directed towards human unrighteousness and sin. He elucidates how humanity has deviated from God, choosing to venerate created entities rather than the Creator, and engaging in various forms of moral corruption. This passage highlights the detrimental outcomes of a life devoid of God’s guidance and truth, resulting in a society permeated with immorality and spiritual degradation. It underscores the intrinsic necessity for God’s righteousness, which provides the moral framework and transformative power essential for aligning one’s life with divine purpose and holiness.

In the context of the 1st century, Christianity represented a novel paradigm since Christ had revealed the truth and demonstrated the Christian way of life. However, many individuals were entrenched in their established practices, leading to God’s decision to abandon them to their depraved inclinations, as depicted in this passage. Paul’s discourse emphasizes that all humans are inherently enslaved by sin and necessitate God’s grace for redemption.
