Gospel Meeting with Adonis Bailey | April 2025

In Romans 1:16–32, Paul introduces the great theme of his letter — salvation by faith through the gospel — and immediately turns to prosecute the Gentile world for its rejection of God. Though God's existence and power are plainly revealed in creation, mankind chose to suppress that truth, trading the glory of God for idols and spiraling into darkened thinking and moral chaos. Paul traces the downward progression step by step: rejection of God leads to futile reasoning, foolish pride, and ultimately a catalog of sins that touches every area of life. Three times he writes that "God gave them over," a sobering reminder that persistent rebellion carries real consequences. This study walks through Paul's argument and explores what it means for believers today.
