Ungodliness And Unrighteousness Of Men.

In the book of Romans, the bible speaks of the ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who hold the truth of God in unrighteousness. The bible says the wrath of God is revealed from Heaven against them. They change the truth of God into a lie, according to the scripture. They worship and serve the creature more than the creator which is blessed forevermore. Through their vain imaginations, their foolish heart is darkened.

First, let us examine them changing the truth of God into a lie. There are many in the world who teach false doctrine because they do not have spiritual understanding of the scripture. They believe will all their heart they are doing God service. However, they hold the truth in ungodliness and unrighteousness. The bible tells us all liars will have their part in the lake of fire. According to the scripture, a liar is one who denies that Jesus is the Christ. So how do these men deny Jesus? There are many who profess to know him while denying him with works. These are ungodly men who speak evil of the things they understand not, but what they know naturally.

These ungodly men who hold the truth in unrighteousness worship and serve the creature more than the creator. There are many in the world who receive honor one of another, but do not seek the honor that comes from God only. However, we cannot be the servant of God and expect to please man. We should not praise men rather than God. We are all sinners in need of a savior, Jesus Christ. There is none righteousness, no, not one. We must not live our life seeking the praise of man, nor should we give praise to man. Those who do so are living in ungodliness and unrighteousness.

These men have become vain in their imaginations and their foolish heart is darkened. Beware of the unruly and vain talkers, especially those of the circumcision. They speak things they ought not, subverting whole households. Their tongue in an unruly evil full of deadly poison. The poison of asps is under their lips. Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness. We should not allow their root of bitterness to spring up and trouble us. We should realize there are many who would trouble us and pervert the gospel of Jesus Christ. They are ungodly men who hold the truth in unrighteousness.

These men who hold the truth in unrighteousness have a foolish heart that has been darkened from the evil that lies within them. Many love this evil darkness, rather than light. Neither will they come to the light, lest their evil deeds should be reproved. These men walk in hatred. If any man hates his brother, he walks in darkness. However, if we walk in love, there is no occasion of stumbling in us. He that loves is born of God. The rest hold the truth of God in ungodliness and unrighteousness of men.
