So God abandoned them to do whatever shameful things their hearts desired. As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each other’s bodies. 25They traded the truth about God for a lie. So they worshiped and served the things God created instead of the Creator himself, who is worthy of eternal praise! Amen.
Since they thought it foolish to acknowledge God, he abandoned them to their foolish thinking and let them do things that should never be done. 29Their lives became full of every kind of wickedness, sin, greed, hate, envy, murder, quarreling, deception, malicious behavior, and gossip.
For merely listening to the law doesn’t make us right with God. It is obeying the law that makes us right in his sight.
For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. 24Yet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins.
Lord God,
Thank you for not abandoning me when I fall short and thank you for your never ending patience and love. May I only see your truth in this world and be blinded to the sin I have fallen into in the past. May the world turn back to you in truth and service so you will once again be brought to Glory in all our hearts. Forgive me for my past and help me to forgive myself.
In Jesus name,
Amen
