Romans 1 reveals how the truth sets us free from the lies of the culture and the captivity of our feelings.
As Christians, our allegiance must be to the Kingdom of God and the multi-ethnic family of God. Faith in God is the reason for our salvation, and people with faith in God can never be controlled by another.
Religion shapes culture and culture shapes laws. What happens when a civilization abandons faith in God?
- Truth suppression.
Lies take us into captivity. It’s the truth that sets us free. Right thinking leads to right feelings, only if you turn to the truth.
2. God’s demotion.
Many Christians have been more influenced by the culture around them than Christ in them. We have created a false “god” to become like us, forgetting God made us to become like Him!
3. Man’s promotion.
God’s demotion leads to man’s deification. God has been dethroned so man can sit on God’s throne. Humans have created a “god” in their image forgetting it’s God who created us in His image.
4. Moral destruction.
Self-idolatry leads to moral anarchy. When everyone becomes their own deity, society no longer has any absolutes morally.
The truth sounds like hate to those who hate the truth. But the truth sets us free from the lies of the enemy. Will you accept the truth, or will you suppress it?
