Romans 1:21-28

• According to these verses, what happens when people fail to respond to the knowledge of God that is available to all humanity? Why are there these natural consequences to not responding to our knowledge of God?
• Note the “exchanges” described in the text.  What is so tragic and absurd about these exchanges?
• Are there areas of my life in which I have “exchanged” a God-given blessing with something that is inferior?  What lasting consequences have I reaped from these “exchanges”?
• What does the recurring statement “God gave them over” say about the nature of God’s judgment?
• Reflect on the state of this world as described in these verses.  How much does this heighten my sense of mission in this world?  What changes do I need to make in my life in order to fulfill my mission in this world?
