Rom 1:18 | MHM | STEP | v. 18 : Paul now begins to show why everyone needs this salvation. He says, The wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men (Romans 1:18 ). Both the law of nature and God’s commandments show us that God is against sin. People are guilty of two main things: ungodliness (not honoring God) and unrighteousness (not treating others right). The root of this problem is that people know the truth, but they hold it back by living in sin. They may know about God, but they do not let this truth change their lives. This is why everyone needs the righteousness that only the gospel brings.
