“The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness,Furthermore, just as they did not think it worth while to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.”
Romans 1:18, 28 NIVUK
I’ve always wondered why even when there are weather forecasts predicting hurricanes, tornados, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions, people still get killed.
We see that regardless of the warnings of horrendous natural disasters to come, there are always those who will resist evacuating the disaster zones, preferring to hunker down and hope for the best. They often pay with their lives.
The warnings and knowledge of God’s judgement have been sounded off for many generations to the point where over time, it has seemingly become ‘redundant’ and a ‘bothersome ‘ thing to read or listen to the Bible or to go to church.
So there is an ominous silence from God towards humanity today. It’s just like when someone has been given a final notice. It’s just like the silence before a storm. In these verses it is clear that a forecast has already been made. God is going to punish sinners. And this is no small talk.
There was a time in history when the presence of God was taken for granted and assumed normal. During this period, records of the miraculous and prophetic interventions from God were written. Great men of God who walked and spoke with God successfully captured what exactly God desires of His creation.
But now in these verses we see that for some crazy reason because some people just do not want to retain the knowledge of God’s truth in their minds, God has left them to their ways, knowing that the end is near.
Like steering a sinking ship, many people are planning their lives without God and carving out their own destruction.
How about you? What do you believe? Why not spend the rest of your lifetime seeking and discovering God your Creator?
