Romans 1:32

Posted by Anthony Crumley

Though they know God’s decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.

From the very beginning, God said that death is the punishment for sin.

And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “You may surely eat of every tree of the garden, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”  (Genesis 2:16, 17)

Even though people know the consequences of their actions, they continue to sin in willful rebellion against God.

In addition to sinning against God themselves, they also encourage others to continue in their sin.  Knowing that God has decreed something to be sin, they tell people that their sin is alright.  God has strong warnings for people who tell others that their sin is actually something good, right and commendable.

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!  Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and shrewd in their own sight!  (Isaiah 5:20, 21)
