Romans 1:18-32 BSB

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Romans 1:1-19

The Gospel of God Romans 1:1-19 INTRODUCTORY WORDS The opening statement of the first chapter of Romans gives us sufficient basis for our introductory word. The statement reads thus: "Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an Apostle, separated unto the Gospel of God." There are three things here plainly stated. 1. Paul was a servant of Jesus Christ. The word means nothing less than a bond slave. It does not carry with it the thought of service for pay. It is the service rendered... read more

The Wrath and Judgments of God Romans 1:32 ; Romans 2:1-12 INTRODUCTORY WORDS As we listen to the pulsings of twentieth century thought, we find that God is not only being denied by many, but his wrath against unrighteousness and His judgments against sin are being generally set aside by the ungodly. A study of the Word of God reveals that God's love and goodness in no sense lessens the severity of His judgment against the ungodly. Grace does not make justice negligible; it rather makes it... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 1:18

‘For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hinder the truth in unrighteousness,’ ‘For --.’ This connecting word immediately lets us know why God has revealed His salvation and His righteousness. It is because of what man had become in his ungodliness and unrighteousness. In contrast to those who have ‘experienced the righteousness of God’ by faith, and have thus enjoyed the experience of God-given righteousness, are those who are still... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 1:18-21

The Wrath of God Is Revealed From Heaven Because Of Man’s Ungodliness And Unrighteousness (1:18-21). In stark contrast to the righteousness of God being revealed (Romans 1:17), we have the wrath of God revealed from Heaven (Romans 1:18). The point is that those who fail to respond and receive the righteousness of God will face the wrath of God. And there will be no excuses,. Indeed all are seen to be totally without excuse because ‘what God is’ is revealed in such a way that man has no excuse... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 1:19

‘Because that which is known of God is manifest in them, for God manifested it to them.’ God’s wrath is revealed against such people because they have no real excuse for not seeing the truth. For what is known of God is manifest (made clear) in them, because God has manifested it (made it clear) in them. They have the voice of conscience within, the law written in the heart (Romans 2:15). That makes clear the difference between moral good and bad. They have the testimony of creation around them... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 1:20

‘For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things which are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse,’ For what makes man totally inexcusable is that ‘the things that are made’ reveal to the open mind the invisible things of God (His goodness, wisdom, power, majesty, creativity, providential care) and have done so from the beginning. For in combination with man’s spiritual nature they make... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 1:21

‘Because that, knowing God, they glorified him not as God, nor gave thanks, but became vain in their reasonings, and their senseless heart was darkened.’ Note that it was not that men did not ‘know’ God. There was something within them which made them aware of Him. That is why there is so much religion in the world. But what they did not want was to be controlled by Him in their activities and behaviour. Thus they closed their minds to the knowledge of God as He is, and refused to glorify Him... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 1:21-25

Man’s Rebellion Against God Comes To Its Inevitable Fruition (1:21-25). Paul now demonstrates how man’s refusal to know God results in man’s fall into gross sin. We have already been told about the ungodliness and unrighteousness of men in Romans 1:18. Paul now expands on that, dealing firstly with man’s ungodliness as manifested by his turning to idols, with its inevitable consequences, in Romans 1:21-27. He will then move on to deal with man’s unrighteousness as manifested by a list of gross... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 1:22

‘Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,’ Consequently they began to associate the divine with the world around and above them and set up images of earthly things, over which they could keep control and which they could manipulate, and they did it in order that men might worship these things. They sought to give an impression of wisdom. But in giving the impression of wisdom they became fools, something that was already recognised in Paul’s day. Men had been carried away by their... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 1:23

‘And changed the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things.’ So by setting up his idols man changed the invisible glory of the God Who could not suffer corruption, something revealed for example through His invisibility in the Tabernacle, and replaced it with the likeness of images in human and beastly form. Note the emphasis on the downward path. ‘The glory of the incorruptible God’ was changed into... read more
