Who Will Not Inherit the Kingdom of God? | Romans 1:29–32 | Episode 55

Paul gives some sobering warnings that certain people “will not inherit the kingdom of God.” But who is he talking about? Is Paul warning Christians that falling into particular sins could cost them their place in God’s kingdom?In this episode, we look at Romans 1 alongside Galatians 5 and 1 Corinthians 6 to examine Paul’s descriptions of godless behavior, the difference between identity and conduct, and why these warnings were still important for believers to understand. Paul does not leave Christians staring at a list of sins in fear. He reminds them that they were washed, sanctified, and justified, and points them toward walking by the Spirit rather than returning to the ways of the flesh.We’ll also consider why understanding sin helps us appreciate grace more deeply, why Christian behavior grows from our identity in Christ rather than fear of losing that identity, and what Paul means when he contrasts the works of the flesh with the fruit of the Spirit.Read the companion study and join the conversation:https://wakinguptograce.com/055-sinners-will-not-inherit-life-romans-1-29-32/
