Romans 1:28-32 King James Version (KJV)
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
I ask myself who would not like to retain God in their knowledge? But this scripture plainly tells us that is the way it will be. They make up their minds to please themselves rather than God. When they get to this point, they don't want anything or anybody reminding them of the God who they don't want to retain in their knowledge or forget.
This is where Christians come in. We are just that reminder, that not only is it possible to live in victory over sin, but it is also necessary. Remember the account of the wicked Haman, how he hated Mordecai without a just cause. Just to see him standing in the gate was more than Haman could bear. This is the same spirit in the world, working in the heart of the unbeliever. This spirit is at full power in the actions of unbelievers in the following passage of scripture.
Revelation 11:3 King James Version (KJV)
3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
Revelation 11:9 King James Version (KJV)
9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
Revelation 11:10 King James Version (KJV)
10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
We are becoming a torment to the people who don't want truth and then a reminder of the God that they want to forget.
