Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

Psalm 2:12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities – his eternal power and divine nature – have been clearly seen, being understood from what is made, so that men are without excuse.

A story was told of a man who made it his life’s purpose to seek after truth but when he found it, he turned and walked away and followed the sinful desires of his heart.  This is the story of the men that Paul describes in Romans chapter one.  Paul’s purpose was to present the gospel of God to all, but not all believe.  As we go forth on our journey in this life, we must realize that all men and women will be without excuse on the day of judgment.  We must present the simple truth of the gospel as Paul writes in Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord”.

What happens to those that reject the gospel and does not put their trust in Christ the King?  Their life becomes their own, they become the one who controls every aspect of their life. They become wise in their own eyes, but their hearts become darken and they become fools before God.  God then gives them over to the sinful desires of their hearts.  To me this means God steps out of their life. 

Paul describes this person in Romans 1:26-32 “For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise, also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,backbiters, haters of God, spite fullest, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.”

Another story was told of a man who life’s purpose was to seek after truth, and when he found it, he realized his sinful ungodly nature.  But he also found the way of salvation offered by God’s gift of salvation to mankind through his son Jesus Christ.  He could now be made righteous by placing his faith in God’s son.  This was why he now lives a daily lifestyle that reflects Christ in him as our hope in glory.  This was the decision that Paul made on the road to Damascus.  If we follow Paul’s example then we should also walk in the spirit and see a life that will reflect the fruit of the Spirit “love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.  The saints that have taken God’s gift of his son Jesus will strive to live a life that has been crucified to the flesh with its affections and lusts; and live in the Spirit.  Was Paul states in I Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature:  old things are passed away; behold all things become new.”  There are only two ways.  As in Psalm chapter one there is the way of the Righteous or the way of the wicked.  Which story will reflect your life?  The choose is yours.
