Human nature has become immersed in sin, rebelling and denying God as their creator. For me, I know that God created us and that there are consequences for sin.

Worldview, worldview is a particular philosophy of life or the conception of the world. In Romans chapters 1-8 I will be going over the different subject matters; the natural world, human identity, human relationships, culture and how it all ties into Romans and society today, Paul wrote the book of Romans to explain that salvation is offered through the gospel of Christ.
