God Punishes Sin With More Sin
Some Things to Keep in Mind 

•        We are not given the mechanics of how God gave the Gentiles over to more sin. We are only told that He did!

 

•        Though God has given the Gentiles over to more sin, He does not approve of their increased sin - for God hates all sin. “O God  . . . You love righteousness and hate wickedness (Psalm 45:6-7)

 

•        Those who are given over to more sin by God, sin willingly - not under compulsion. Paul tells us  “. . . they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.” (Romans 1:32)

 

•        As such, they will have to give an account to God for their sins - “This will take place on the day when God will judge men's secrets through Jesus Christ” (Romans 2:16)
