The world is a wonderful place and in 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 has been made, so that people are without excuse" (NIV). Paul wrote this passage to help facilitate to Christians that God is all powerful and we are able to see that every day. Christians must realize the God is never abandon us and that he is always around, if we are in need of Him. This is apparent from the beginning of the Bible in Genesis.
Human Identity: Identity was conveyed by Paul throughout the Book of Romans, where he explained that mankind should have the identity that reflected God. Which the Bible states that we are made in God 's image. In Romans 1:29-32, " They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they have no

This was evident when Paul wrote in Romans 1:26-27, were that men would astray from their wife 's for another woman. Also, the women did the same as the men, however, men would not only seek other women, they would engage with other men (Rom 1:26-27). In Romans 7:1-6, gives an example of what a married woman should be to her husband and can be released from him only if he has died. However, if she doesn 't wait, then she is called an adulteress (Rom 7:3). Paul then went on to say that we were to bear fruit for God and that this can be accomplished through Christ, who died for us and then rose (Rom 7:4). The relationship between a man and a woman is very sacred to God and that we need to hold ourselves accountable to each
All you’ve ever known is Asa,” said Emma. “The Bible says that when you look at someone with lust you’ve already committed adultery in your heart.” “Yes, well, I think you’re safe from condemnation. I’m not so sure the men who wrote the bible always had the welfare of women in mind. Like when it says “Wives, submit yourself to your husband at you do to the Lord.’ ”
I agree with the message of this clip, which is to be cautious when looking for love and be certain that a deep and meaningful connection is present prior to engaging in intercourse with another. I think this is important because we live in a world that is over sexualized and as a result teaches our youth the wrong messages and leaves women feeling that they must seduce a man in order to entice and keep a man. In my opinion, Pastor Paul quoted two of the most profound statements which was King Solomon 's quote "Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires" this was a crucial message because it was directed at women who throughout history have had a tendency to seek love and in many cases try to force love when it is non-existent. Too many women today confuse intercourse with love and they end up with their hearts broken because they believed that a physical relationship would heighten their emotional
The Roman government in the first century A.D saw several horrific and inhumane rulers who killed and tortured people. It is easy for one to look at horrible rulers and think of every way possible to defy the government. But, Paul tells his reader in Romans 13 that man is supposed to be subject to the governing authorities. Paul says that a ruler is “God’s servant to do you good.” Why is Paul saying that we should be subject to the government even if the government is corrupt and against God?
Evil is bound to the heart of humanity. This fact was shown quite sadly by Christianity Today. They
Everyone is created with a sin nature. Our natural instinct is to choose immorality over morality. But, Christ
Men and women also had different takes on sin. Women were more likely to read their sins as a pact with the devil no matter how severe the sin was whereas men paid close attention to the sin as an individual moment of weakness in which they would be able to return to their relationship with God. Believing that they could turn to the devil themselves, women were more likely to then accept that other women could be equally demonized.
This quoted evidence illustrates the depths of Paul’s
Identity is who someone is as a person. People have different views of what identity is and what can be done to find it. Identity can be your actions and thoughts. It’s what makes someone unique and different from anyone else. The Bible has its own view of identity as well.

There are billions of people in the world. They all start as small infants, then grow up. But not everyone turns out the same as the next. Some turn out to be truly evil beings. The truth is, many humans have done acts of evil, but no one is born evil.
As Christians, personal identity is not found in what one believes about himself or what others say about him. Our identity is found Christ alone, who has called us beautiful and His own. Through His redemptive power, all Christians are made pure and righteous. This does not mean that Christians are perfect human beings, but it does mean that Christians have the means to live better lives then before one received Christ as Savior. The Bible says that old things have passed away, and all things are made new through Christ Jesus and it goes on to say that we are a new creation.
Those who commit wicked acts because they can not see what is truly good have a skewed point of view for a reason. Their character is tainted by vice because they have habitually committed vicious acts in the past. Since they originally had a conscience, they must have willingly committed wrongdoing to warp their perception of what is good. Therefore, those who pursue an apparent good but commit wrong acts, due to a skewed appearance of what is good, are still responsible for their
The understanding that some people are good or bad widespread all over the world.” The evil comes from human history and continue until today” and even today this statement has existed. Moreover, when people want to explain why people do some evil acts, the discussion often end with words like “people initially are born evil”. However, some other people argued that people are born good. Because of these many critics has debates such as: are people born bad, good or just like naked board without any morality.
Besides Jesus, Paul, who called himself as an Apostle, was influential in the beginning of Christianity. People even claimed him as the “founder of Christianity”. Paul was the one that brought Jesus’s message to the world. He went on three missionary journeys, and the fourth journey to Rome in order to spread Christian faith and the development of its various institutions. In addition of his responsible of geographically and culturally expanding Christian movement, he also extended it as well as ethnic lines.
Identity is social construct that many have mistaken for something an individual is born with. There are many aspects of identity that one can inherit like genes that can drive a certain type of character and certain aspects of identity a person can adopt and build for themselves. However the most part of one’s identity is consistent of what the person wants and adopts for themselves and what the society/the people around him/her choose to give him/her.
