The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles. Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents;
Romans 1:18?, ?21?-?23?, ?28?-?30 NIV
As from time as we know it
God's wrath is being revealed
In our own foolishness and unknowingly
Deceitful ways trying in own works
Myself,was blinded by this world teaching
Only revealed through Christ
That this all begins to make since
To begin to understand this world
One shall begin within His word
This world is not teaching the truth
For none are good not even one
Until Christ promised spirit
Buries the old self in baptism
Then a new creation is formed
That escapes the wrath in these times
As releasing His presence from one.
Without God holding back the darkness
The world would become man of beast
As we are seeing more and more
The world blames God for their own foolishness
And sinful lust and desires
Only to be cast out by Christ
Revealed in that day of death
Or beginning to be revealed
In that day Christ buries the old self
In dying daily so His spirit might reign
Manifesting the hidden mystery
Myself, am not writing to judge any
But to bring awareness of the source.
For, God could have thrown me
And left me in captivity of the bottomless pit,
But one day when I opened His word
And His spirit was drawing me
Life changed within,
In my weakness I could follow the world
And blend in with it in deception
But through His strength this new source
That was an overwhelming joy and peace
Was now fighting my battles
I was now having to go against all I had known
Sadly, I see this world exact opposite
Of what God sacrificed His Son for
But it's in His plan
That we must seek the Spirit
Which raised His Son unto glory
This comes from the Spirit from Christ
To snatch one from the bottomless pit.
You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness. And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you. For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God. What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?
Romans 8:9?-?11?, ?19?-?21?, ?31?-?32 NIV
