"While the gospel reveals God's gift of justification, it does not begin there. It begins by revealing to us the wrath of God. The good news begins with this bad news: The wrath of God is pouring out of heaven upon all human sin. People defy God by ignoring him. Their sinful way of life is suppressing the truth." From A Passion for God by Raymond C Ortlund, Jr., a paraphrase and devotional on the book of Romans.
We are so mired in untruth that we have convinced ourselves we are in the right and have spurred on others to believe the same untruth. We are damning us all to hell. "Though they know God's decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they no only do them but give approval to those who practice them." Romans 1:32
Each day I realize how much less the truth is regarded because everything is relative nowadays. It used to be that Christianity was believed to be true, but now our world is veering away from Christian truth and in fact it is often ridiculed and mocked.
