¥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.
