NGH BIBLE STUDY – ROMANS – OUTLINE #3<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outline #3: The Perversion of the Gentiles – Rom 1:18-32<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After stating his thesis statement in Rom 1:6-17 centred around the power of the gospel, Paul now explains why the gospel is absolutely necessary by revealing that the wrath of God<\/strong>is directed against all human ungodliness and unrighteousness. Although God has made Himself clearly known through creation, mankind suppresses this truth, refusing to glorify Him or give thanks. Instead, humanity turns to idolatry, exchanging the truth of God for a lie and worshipping created things rather than the Creator. In a sober and righteous response, God acts in judgment by giving them over<\/strong>– withdrawing His restraint and allowing sin to develop to its full extent. This results in moral and spiritual decline, affecting desires, thinking, and behaviour. The passage concludes by exposing the depth of human corruption<\/strong>: people not only practice sin but also approve of it in others, demonstrating their guilt and reinforcing the necessity of the gospel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outline of Romans 1:18-32<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rom 1:18-20 – God\u2019s plain revelation – \u201cGod has shown it to them\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rom 1:21-23 – Man\u2019s proud rejection – \u201cthey did not glorify Him as God\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rom 1:24-28 – God\u2019s righteous relinquishment – \u201cGod gave them up\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rom 1:29-32 – Man\u2019s revealed ruin – \u201cfilled with all unrighteousness\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Themes to think about<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf The clarity of God\u2019s revelation and man\u2019s responsibility in light of it<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf The willfulness of human rejection on moral grounds<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf The justice of God\u2019s judgment<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf The depravity and degradation of human nature<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Questions for discussion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. In what ways do we see evidence of God\u2019s \u201ceternal power and Godhead\u201d in creation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. According to our passage, what are the first steps away from God?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. What could \u2018modern-day\u2019 idolatry look like in our culture? in our own lives?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. What does it mean to approve of sin in others and how might that happen subtly today?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. This passage paints the stark picture which is the dark background of the gospel. How can we faithfully present this essential truth in a way that isn\u2019t accusatory or judgmental?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
