The people there had become so engrossed in homosexuality that, again, God had no choice but to destroy them. They wouldn’t have come to him no matter what he would have done. That’s what sin does, it blinds, and in blinding individuals to the point of no return, it brings about God’s wrath. God hates sin, and when it became particularly vile, he deals with it. Thankfully, we, as Christians, never have to worry about God’s wrath. Remember, Paul told the Thessalonians, “For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Thessalonians 5:9, (ESV). Even if we are disobedient, we won’t bring God’s wrath into our lives. We might bring about discipline, but that is quite different from wrath. Discipline is meant to help—to lead in the right direction. To give one a better life. Wrath, wrath, on the other hand, is meant to totally destroy with no hope for a second chance.

Verse 6: “On account of these the wrath of God is coming” (ESV). For the Christian who is learned, having gained a lot of knowledge, this is a known fact. And as the Bible is read, this fact is seen demonstrated. This is what happened back in Genesis 6, when God flooded the world due to the heaviness of sin. It would seem those people become so engrossed in their sins, so depraved, that God had no chance of bringing them back to himself. He had no choice but to destroy them. They brought it on themselves. Or, we might take into account the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, and the surrounding cities, which we find in Genesis 19 (see also Jude 7). The people there had become so engrossed in homosexuality that, again, God had no choice but to destroy them. They wouldn’t have come to him no matter what he would have done. That’s what sin does, it blinds, and in blinding individuals to the point of no return, it brings about God’s wrath.

Peace to Live By: What is Covetousness? (TMF:2773) - Daniel Litton

Number five: Covetousness. This is the desire of wanting more. The feeling of being never satisfied with what one obtains. A lack of contentment. And, it can mean obtaining more of which we have no right to obtain (i.e. adultery). We need no reminder that this is a big issue for us, as American Christians, and may be the most tempting thing for us on this list. To read the whole part of the verse, Paul stated, “covetousness, which is idolatry.” What this means, in Paul bringing up idolatry, is that when we focus on obtaining more, and we make that our mindset, that means we are too focused on this life. It means we care more about this life than we do about God, and the things of God, like gaining knowledge or even helping others. So, our mindset, or what we have our eyes fixed upon, becomes idolatrous.

Number three: Passion. This usage by Paul of “passion” appears to refer to the energy behind evil sexual acts. It is the desire to be sexually immoral. The King James Version uses the term “inordinate affection.” So, having affection for other humans in an inappropriate way and then acting on those affections. Number four: Evil desire. This also looks to refer to sexuality, but actually with an emphasis on the mind. It is the desiring in the mind of committing sexual acts that the Bible calls evil. The King James uses the term “evil concupiscence.” Concupiscence means lust, sexual desire, or sexual passion. Number five: Covetousness. This is the desire of wanting more. The feeling of being never satisfied with what one obtains. A lack of contentment. And, it can mean obtaining more of which we have no right to obtain (i.e. adultery).

There have even been known persons, speaking on a personal level, who say they are Christian yet live with someone without being married. This boggles the mind. Also included here would be adultery. We know what that one is. And we could, and should also include homosexuality. Yes, that is the case. It’s a sin and is alway going to be a sin. Its a sin in this age and will also be a sin in the age to come. Number two: Impurity. What does impurity mean? Impurity seems to drive more toward the mind, and what kind of thoughts flow through the mind. It could also entail things individuals do which are impure—not necessarily sexual practices, but anything that would be incorrect. Paul said to the Ephesians: “Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving” (Ephesians 5:4, ESV). So the mind and the mouth, as well any impure actions the mind and mouth lead a person to do.
