To fully appreciate the “Good News” that God has for us, Paul takes the remainder of Romans 1 to give us the “Bad News.”  Paul begins this section of his letter by showing us that God’s wrath against sin is justified.  He goes on with the bulk of the passage to show us that people’s suppression of the truth has consequences, and he concludes with a warning against approving of unrighteousness.

With some very vivid warnings, this passage encourages us to acknowledge God and His rightful place in our lives, giving Him the honor & thanks He deserves.
