Paul, in today's text, does not lead off with the love of God as we saw in the earlier verses, but he dwelt on the righteousness and the wrath of God. He described what God is universally, that God have not come under the power of His true for all people who heard the Gospel.
The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness…... Romans 1:18-19
Nowadays, some preachers draw huge crowds to their churches, they assemble by not preaching about sin and judgment: Rather, they focus more on the attractive aspects of the Gospel: "God loves you He offers you an abundant life full of peace, joy, and love. They know the truth about God but they suppress that truth through their wicked living. People who love sin hate the light and will not come to the light lest their deeds be exposed.(John 3:20-21)
To understand why you need God's righteousness, you must understand His anger towards sin, you need to know God's attitude toward sin, He is not one of tolerance. He hates sin.
People are not condemned for rejecting a Saviour they have never heard of, but for being unfaithful to what they know about God. Do not incur the righteous wrath of God. Do away with sin and evil works today!
