Romans 1:18-23 (#5.2024.12.08)
Scott continues the discussion on Romans, focusing on the themes of divine judgment, human idolatry, and the power of the gospel. Scott discusses the importance of daily gratitude for salvation, reminding listeners of their transition from being under God's wrath to becoming heirs to His glory. He advocates for a shift in mindset from dwelling on what we lack to acknowledging the abundance received through God's grace.
The conversation also moves into idolatry, the folly of exchanging God's incorruptible glory for earthly images, and the concept of judicial hardening as a consequence of sin. Scott emphasizes redirecting our resources toward spiritual investments and understanding the distinction between worldly wisdom and God's wisdom.
