Unbelief and Its Consequences
Romans 1:18-25
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them.
For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.
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.
Professing to be wise, they became fools, 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. Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them.
For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
Lets start with the ""wrath of God""
if you look back over time when God set His wrath loos on man you will see that it is a force that you do not want to have contact with, if you can not recognize it in our past, then go back to the bible and read about His wrath. how we may avoid the wrath of God has been set out before us in a very simple way.
John 3:36
“He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”
it is stated so simply that most will not except it, to avoid the wrath of God -- obey Jesus the Son of God.
from above;
knew God, honor Him as God and give thanks to Him,
be grateful towards God for all He provides for you; like giving of His Son Jesus so that you may be saved, for your food clothing and shelter, that is if you have given your life over to Him and are fully committed and dependent on Him for your life, but i can understand you not being grateful, appreciative or thankful toward God if you removed Him from the equation and are providing for your self dependent on your own ability to produce and supply, or your job, position employer, family or friends. i understand your doing it on your own, but the question is How’s that working out for you? and how do you think it will work out when you confront the wrath of God.
How to avoid the wrath of God starts with asking Christ Jesus in to your heart, being seen by Father God justified by the redeeming blood of Jesus.
Romans 5:9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him.
Stop listen to the empty words of man;
Ephesians 5:6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.
Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth; anger, wrath, malice, slander, abusive speech, immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which amounts to idolatry and stop lying to one another
Col 3:6 For it is because of these things that the wrath of God will come upon the sons of disobedience,
Colossians 3:1-11
Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory.
Therefore consider the members of your earthly body as dead to immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which amounts to idolatry.
For it is because of these things that the wrath of God will come upon the sons of disobedience, and in them you also once walked, when you were living in them.
But now you also, put them all aside: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and abusive speech from your mouth.
Do not lie to one another, since you laid aside the old self with its evil practices, and have put on the new self who is being renewed to a true knowledge according to the image of the One who created him—a renewal in which there is no distinction between Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave and freeman, but Christ is all, and in all.
the wrath of God is not something you want to have to deal with, you will not like it.
think about it.
Ask for wisdom and understanding,
talk it over with the Holy Spirit,
for this one you do not want to go on your own understanding for the wisdom of man is foolishness when compared to the wisdom and understanding of God
don’t through your life away because of pride
