• Raiter speaks on Romans 1:21–23. Paul describes the attitude and behaviour that define humanity: rebellion expressed both in a great omission, what has not been done, and a great commission, what has been done. In verse 21a, Paul highlights humanity’s failure to act upon the knowledge of God by honouring Him. All people are therefore culpable before God for this refusal to acknowledge Him. By contrast, the life of the Christian is to be marked by thankful honour given to God. Humanity’s natural capacity to reason accurately about God has been profoundly damaged, leaving it impossible to conceive of spiritual truth apart from Him. Paul describes the stark contrast between what is claimed to be believed and how the world lives. In exchange for the glory of God, the world exchanges the glory of God for idols and false gods. The false religious actions are expressions of the world's wickedness and unbelief.
