Introduction:

Living in the Wrath of God (Romans 1:18-32):

1. God Abandons thsoe that Abandon Him. (Rom 1:18-23)

   Judges 10:13-14 - Yet you have forsaken me and served other gods; therefore I will save you no more. Go and cry out to the gods whom you have chosen; let them save you in the time of your distress.

   Hosea 4:17 - Ephraim (Israel) is joined to idols; leave him alone.

   They clearly know about God...

   But they clearly don't want God.

3 Evidences that God Has Abandoned People:

1. First the Heart goes: Sexual Immorality. (Rom 1:24-25)
2. Then what is Natural goes: Dishonorable Passions. (Rom 1:26-27)
3. Finally, the Mind goes: Debased Minds. (Rom 1:28-32)
• Mourn
• Discern

John 3:36 - Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.
