Read the sermon text: Romans 1:18-25
Read the sermon summary: Romans 1:18 tells us that “the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth.” Exactly what truth is being suppressed that results in the wrath of God? How is this truth suppressed? How does one go about avoiding the suppression of this truth, and thereby avoiding the wrath of God? As you read the text, also notice the pattern developing in verse 21: they did not honor God as God, they became futile in their thinking, their hearts were darkened. And ask yourself these questions: What does it mean to honor Him as God? Do I do this? Do I give thanks to Him? Is my thinking characteristic of someone who belongs to God and honors Him?
Read the following song lyrics in relation to the sermon:
Before The Throne Of God Above
Before the throne of God above
I have a strong and perfect plea
A great High Priest whose name is Love
Who ever lives and pleads for me
My name is graven on His hands
My name is written on His heart
I know that while in heav'n He stands
No tongue can bid me thence depart
No tongue can bid me thence depart
When Satan tempts me to despair
And tells me of the guilt within
Upward I look and see Him there
Who made an end to all my sin
Because the sinless Saviour died
My sinful soul is counted free
For God the Just is satisfied
To look on Him and pardon me
To look on Him and pardon me
Behold Him there the risen Lamb
My perfect spotless righteousness
The great unchangeable I Am
The King of glory and of grace
One with Himself I cannot die
My soul is purchased with His blood
My life is hid with Christ on high
With Christ my Saviour and my God
With Christ my Saviour and my God
I bow before the cross of Christ
And marvel at this love divine
God's perfect Son was sacrificed
To make me righteous in God's eyes
This river's depths I cannot know
But I can glory in its flood
The Lord Most High has bowed down low
And poured on me His glorious love
And poured on me His glorious love
