v.17-18:
Behaving as the wicked leads to darkness
Proverbs 4:14
Psalm 1:1
Futility of mind: Paul defines this.
Romans 1:21-23
Darkness is to be without God
What happens to a person at this point, is that their understanding is darkened.
For your understanding to be darkened, means that it doesn’t include God, because God is light.
1 John 1:5
In Romans, Paul calls them fools.
A fool is defined as one who doesn’t believe in God.
Psalm 53:1
These people don’t know the “life of God”.
All they can know is condemnation, death and destruction.
John 3:18
ignorance and blindness keep them from the truth.
This is the beginning of what happens when one becomes futile in their thoughts.
It opens you up to all kinds of wickedness.
v.19:
Those in darkness sin without remorse
They no longer feel, their conscience has been seared.
1 Timothy 4:2
As they continue to sin and turn away from God, they become still more apathetic about moral and spiritual things .
Romans 1:32
Unbelievers are behaviorally depraved.
They willingly succumb to wickedness.
Lewdness
Lewdness is sexual depravity, which includes such things as:
Homosexuality
Adultery
Pedophilia
Sex outside of marriage
Pornography
Homosexuality is fast becoming normalized in our society.
In some circles it is both fashionable and celebrated.
It has become taboo to speak out against homosexuality.
People are ostracized and “cancelled” for calling it the moral depravity, perversion, and abomination that it is, even though the Bible repeatedly condemns it.
Leviticus 18:22
Leviticus 20:13
Romans 1:26-27
1 Corinthians 6:9-10
Jude 7
Genesis 19:4-5
Adultery is rarely discussed, but it is clearly a devastating sin.
It defiles one of God’s most sacred institutions - marriage, and it destroys families.
God specifically forbids it in the seventh commandment.
Exodus 20:14
Pedophilia is about as heinous as it gets, and God issues a strong warning to anyone who would harm a child.
Luke 17:2
Sex outside of marriage is referred to fornication.
This is another one that is rarely spoken of.
Sex was designed to be part of the marriage covenant, and any sex outside of that covenant is a sin, and requires repentance.
The Bible mentions it a number of times, many of which are in revelation, and are linked to God’s judgements.
2 Corinthians 12:21
Revelation 19:2
Pornography is yet another rarely mentioned lewd behavior.
Pornography breeds lust, and that is bad news.
If you are married, it is akin to adultery.
Matthew 5:28
The tenth commandment forbids it.
Exodus 20:17
Impurity is inseparable from greediness.
When you get entangled in these sins, you are never satisfied, you’ll always want more and more.
This greed will become your focus, which means that it becomes a form of idolatry.
Repentance is necessary
Ephesians 5:5
Colossians 3:5
vv.20-21:
Christians think differently from the unsaved, and the emphasis here is on thinking.
v.17 - “Futility of their mind”
v.18 - ignorance
v.20 - “learned Christ”
Sin always starts in the mind, it begins with a thought.
Thats is why what a person learns is important.
The unsaved have not learned Christ, so the thoughts of their minds are futile.
People are being taught many things, every day that feed this futility.
education’s false religion of evolution
the “love is love” ideology
the celebration of witchcraft, the occult, and illicit sexual activity that plagues our popular media
The barrage is constant.
Without the knowledge of Christ to counteract these things, the unsaved don’t stand a chance.
However, if you have learned Christ, you have learned the truth.
It starts in the mind
John 14:6
When you know the truth, you have true understanding.
Proverbs 9:10
This is why scripture tells us to keep our minds on Godly things.
Colossians 3:2
The more we do this, the less place the ungodly things will have.
vv.22-23:
That means that that our old self (and conduct) will be pushed away by the new, rather than growing and consuming us.
We will be renewed.
Romans 12:1-2
This starts by renewing your mind.
Refill it with the Godly, so that there is no room for the ungodly.
v.24:
The renewal of the mind in salvation brings not simply a renovation of character, but transformation of the old to the new self.
Faith in Christ transforms you into a new creation
2 Corinthians 5:17
