2 Kings 24: 8-20, 2 Kings 25, Romans 1: 18-32, Psalm 105: 37-45
Romans 1: 18 (ESV)
“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all
ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress
the truth.”
Verse 18 from Romans 1 shows Paul defining what angers God. “Ungodliness”
refers to people’s offenses against God, and “unrighteousness” refers to people’s
offenses against each other. These offenses are not following the two commandments
that Jesus said are the greatest; 1) love the Lord, your God with your heart,
soul, and mind, and 2) love your neighbor as much as you love yourself. If you love
God with all of your heart, soul, and mind, you will not commit offenses against
him by disobeying his laws. If you love your neighbor as much as you love
yourself, you will not commit offenses against other people because you would be
hurting yourself. We need to remember what Paul is telling us about what angers
God, because if we don’t anger God we will be following the two commandments
that Jesus said are the greatest commandments to follow.
