Romans 1:18 – For the wrath of God is revealed from Heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who, through unrighteousness, suppress the truth.
Part 2 ~ Continuing In Sin? Those who would make good and evil equal – those who would put darkness for light and light for darkness – are plainly manifested to be of their father the devil. Those who would justify sin, or in any way make sin acceptable by any argument, are deceived. If we are so deceived that we think we should continue in sin after we have been born of God, then we have lost all sense of reality in Christ Jesus (Romans 6:1-2). If after we have been made righteous by Jesus, we then continue in sin, is Christ then the minister of sin? Once again, there is no way Christ Jesus is the Lord of sin (Galatians 2:17).
If we abide in Him, then it will be the fruits of His life and nature we will produce (John 6:53, 15:1-5). God has written His laws and His judgments upon our hearts and minds, so we will now do them by nature (Hebrews 8:10, 10:16; Romans 8:4). If we are led by the Spirit, we will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh; and as many as are led by the Spirit, they are the sons of God (Galatians 5:16; Romans 8:14).
We must recognize how Satan has ministers who have come into the Church, not sparing the flock. They have been disguised as ministers of righteousness, but their end shall be according to their works (2 Corinthians 11:14-15). We must all understand that although the Lord is merciful and compassionate, He will not clear the guilty (Exodus 34:7). The person who justifies the wicked is an abomination unto the Lord (Proverbs 17:15). There is nothing more clear than the testimony of Jesus: “Depart from me, you that work iniquity; I never knew you” (Luke 13:27).
