Enslavement – Romans 1:18-2:5
As Paul begins the body of his letter, he begins with the basic problem:
Humanity’s sinfulness and the enslavement that results from sin.

Enslavement – Romans 1:18
1. Humanity Stands under God’s Wrath – 1:18-2:5 a. The Declaration of This Manifestation – 1:18
God has every reason to be angry!
When wrath is revealed, God’s righteousness is also revealed.
![Page 6: Romans](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062816/5681645f550346895dd638be/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Enslavement – Romans 1:18
Because of sin and the wrath that results, the world needs God’s righteousness.
![Page 7: Romans](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062816/5681645f550346895dd638be/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Enslavement – Romans 1:18
Because humanity can’t stand God’s righteousness, they suppress it toward themselves and others.
This happens in many ways. One is idolatry.(vv. 21-23)

1. Humanity Stands under God’s Wrath – 1:18-2:5 a. The Declaration of This Manifestation – 1:18 b. The Cause of This Manifestation – 1:19-23

Enslavement – Romans 1:19-20
What is suppressed is self-evident truth!
There are certain realities about God that He has made clear.
![Page 10: Romans](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062816/5681645f550346895dd638be/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Enslavement – Romans 1:19-20
What can be known is specifically God’s unparalleled power and therefore His deity.
This is seen in His creation.

Enslavement – Romans 1:19-20
“The greater the complexity of the system, the more emphatically that system testifies to a
Designer.”Romans p. 42

Enslavement – Romans 1:19-20
As Hodges goes on to point out, the universe is “the most complex system of all”.
Humanity has no excuse.
![Page 13: Romans](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062816/5681645f550346895dd638be/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Enslavement – Romans 1:19-20
While humanity can discern God’s eternal power and deity, other realities of God are not necessarily
revealed by creation.
![Page 14: Romans](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062816/5681645f550346895dd638be/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Enslavement – Romans 1:19-20
The Gospel cannot be learned from Creation.
However, if people will respond to the realities of the creation, they would be in a position to receive
the truth in the gospel.Hebrews 11:6!!
![Page 15: Romans](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062816/5681645f550346895dd638be/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Enslavement – Romans 1:19-20
While general revelation is not sufficient to save,it is sufficient to condemn.
![Page 16: Romans](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062816/5681645f550346895dd638be/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Enslavement – Romans 1:19-20
However, men have no desire to acknowledge a Creator nor their implicit accountability to Him.
Unrighteous people don’t want to face their accountability and have no excuse.
![Page 17: Romans](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062816/5681645f550346895dd638be/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Enslavement – Romans 1:21
God has left evidence for Himself in creation.
The world has not responded appropriately to it.
![Page 18: Romans](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062816/5681645f550346895dd638be/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Enslavement – Romans 1:21
Early humanity knew God, but…• Did not glorify Him as God• Was not thankful• Turned to empty reasoning
![Page 19: Romans](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062816/5681645f550346895dd638be/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Enslavement – Romans 1:21
The result of this path taken was a loss of understanding and discernment.
A vacuum was created out of which man created their own gods.
![Page 20: Romans](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062816/5681645f550346895dd638be/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Enslavement – Romans 1:22-23
Mankind thought they were wise, but were fools and in their self-confidence worshipped what the
Creator had made as the Creator Himself!
![Page 21: Romans](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062816/5681645f550346895dd638be/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Enslavement – Romans 1:24-25
God “turned them over”vv. 24, 26, 28
This is the basic result of wrath!
![Page 24: Romans](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062816/5681645f550346895dd638be/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Enslavement – Romans 1:24-25
People are given over to what they want, fall into immorality, and dishonor their bodies.
![Page 25: Romans](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062816/5681645f550346895dd638be/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Enslavement – Romans 1:24-25
The true value of our physical lives is only realized when we acknowledge a God above our physical
reality.
He is the One who gives us significance.
![Page 26: Romans](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062816/5681645f550346895dd638be/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Enslavement – Romans 1:24-25
Reality is exchanged for a lie!
When the creature becomes the center of attention, the Creator is forgotten, as are His
purposes for and value of His creation.
The Creator is forgotten, but not diminished.
![Page 27: Romans](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062816/5681645f550346895dd638be/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The Descent – Romans 1:26-27
• Idolatry demeans the physical experience (Immorality)
• Truth is exchanged for a lie.• The lie continues in perverted sexual practices.
![Page 28: Romans](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062816/5681645f550346895dd638be/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The Descent – Romans 1:26-27
No other sexual experience can equal the sexual experience ordained by God.
The exchange is of the “natural use”.
One sexual orientation produces life; the other disease and death.
![Page 29: Romans](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062816/5681645f550346895dd638be/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The Descent – Romans 1:28
God has to be excluded for them to comfortably practice their sin.
Their descent caused them to produce “unseemly things” (vv. 29-31)
![Page 30: Romans](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062816/5681645f550346895dd638be/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The Descent – Romans 1:29-31
It is difficult to read this list and not see how God has truly “turned men over”.
![Page 31: Romans](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062816/5681645f550346895dd638be/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
The Descent – Romans 1:32
No matter how dulled, humanity still knows they are wrong.
Yet, they ignore their consciences and invite for themselves company.
![Page 32: Romans](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062816/5681645f550346895dd638be/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
The Descent – Romans 1:32
Not only are inappropriate lifestyles approved of, those who simply disagree and call them wrong
are now themselves called evil!
![Page 33: Romans](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062816/5681645f550346895dd638be/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
The Descent – Romans 1:32
The depths of our descent is deep!
![Page 34: Romans](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062816/5681645f550346895dd638be/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
The Descent – Romans 1:32
“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!”Isaiah 5:20
