Worthless Minds

And because they did not think it worthwhile to have God in their knowledge, God delivered them over to a worthless mind to do what is morally wrong. Romans 1:29

Do you ever wonder why people do what they do? There is no doubt that we are products of our environment, our education, our experiences, even our victories and failures. But if we are to believe this verse, and we better, there comes a point in time when those who ignore God, those who refuse to see His clear revelation of Himself to man, those who are unwilling to remove the obstacles which separate them from His presence, are faced with the withdrawal of God’s grace from their mind and it (their mind) becomes worthless.

When that occurs, there is no further remedy. They continue the descent into a Hell of unrighteousness, evil, greed, and wickedness. They are filled with envy, murder, disputes, deceit, and malice, and the list goes on and on.

One would have to be spiritually blind to fail to see that exact occurrence in our Churches and Nation. There is a beginning to this madness, a starting point, if you will, and Paul makes it clear in this chapter.

What we are seeing is the wrath of God clearly revealed because of those who suppress the Truth. The Truth is we can know God. The Truth is we can have a relationship with God. The Truth is God has revealed Himself to us and His revelation is designed to bring us into a llove relationship with Him.

Most people want no relationship with God because that calls them to accountability. When we are confronted with our sin, we must either repent or rebel. Most have chosen the latter. Many, especially those who think themselves most wise, are intellectually dishonest, and their thinking has become nonsense (witness the continuation of such foolishness as rejection of a Creator/Designer for our universe) and being a fool becomes their reality.

Hence, the great exchange is not His life for ours and the redemption of Calvary’s cross giving us access to eternal life, rather it is the exchange of the Truth for a lie. And it is that lie which ultimately destroys any opportunity for salvation.

Our nation is on a collision course with the wrath of God. It may already be too late! If you can still think clearly, you might want to consider the llove of God in Christ Jesus. Once the mind goes, death follows after.
