God’s Life-Giving Word of Discipleship

DAY 2 OF 31

  

January 2

Introduction

Yesterday’s reading concluded with Paul describing the righteousness of God (1:17). In today’s reading, he describes God’s anger against sin and evil and humanity’s guilt. According to Paul, those who engage in sinful behavior have exchanged “the truth about God for a lie” (verse 25) and do not worship the immortal God.

Today’s Key Scripture: Romans 1:20a

Ever since God created the world, his invisible qualities, both his eternal power and his divine nature, have been clearly seen; they are perceived in the things that God has made.

Today’s Reading 

Romans 1:18-32

Reflect

Reread verses 28-32. What behaviors does Paul describe by those who “refuse to keep in mind the true knowledge about God?” What effect would such behaviors have on society? In verse 21, Paul speaks of people who know God, but “do not give him the honor that belongs to him.” In what ways do you honor God?

Pray

Holy God, you alone are worthy of honor and praise. Fill my mind with knowledge of you, and order my steps this day so that all I do and say will give glory and honor to you. Amen.

Prayer Concern

Those seeking to grow in their faith and in their knowledge of God

Tomorrow’s Reading

Romans 2:1-16: God’s judgment is described.
