¥It demonstrates human sin.
–Romans 1:21-32 (NIV) For although they knew God, they
neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks
to him, but their thinking became futile
and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23
and exchanged the glory of the immortal
God for images made to look like mortal man and
birds and animals and reptilesÉ 26 Because of
this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural
onesÉ 28 Furthermore, since they did not think
it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of
God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled
with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed
and depravityÉ 32 Although they know God's
righteous decree that those who do such things
deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice
them.
–Rejection of God leads to increasing sinfulness.
