Exchanging The Truth About God. Romans 1:24-25
“24) Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them. 25) For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.” Romans‬ ‭1:24-25
As humanity drifts away from God, it enters into a tail spin into sexual immorality and perversion. Paul talks about this moral decline in Ephesians 4:17-19. Sexual bondage can get dark and ugly.
The reason Paul gives for this decline is found in Romans 1:24; “For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator.” Whenever the truth about the holy God is removed, the void is filled with vanity.
When Christians backslide they often slide down the same slippery slope. Greed, lusts, pornography and immorality are right there to lead them captive into sin. Satans goal is to separate people from God. It can happen quickly.
Often the deception includes the rationalization that “there are no consequences to sin.” Satan fed that line to Eve when he said, “you shall not surely die.” But as we shall see in the next chapter, God does hold people accountable for their actions.
