The Book of Romans, Part 9: The Display of Man’s Depravity I (Rom. 1:29-32)

Summary

The sermon explores the theme of man's depravity as presented in Romans 1:29-32, emphasizing that all humanity, both elect and non-elect, possesses a sinful nature. It highlights God's holiness and wrath against sin, explaining that God does not cause or cooperate with sin but judges it both now and ultimately at the final judgment. The preacher also discusses God's restraining power over sin in the present world and the consequences of rejecting God, illustrated by biblical examples such as Sodom and Gomorrah and the prodigal son. The message calls believers to recognize the depth of human sinfulness and God's righteous judgment while offering hope through Christ's perfect work.
