"Being filled with all unrighteousness…" Romans 1:29

THE DANGER OF A HEART AND MIND NOT FILLED WITH GOD

There is grave danger afoot when a man's heart and mind are not filled with God and His truths! Paul warned of this in the following text. Other things will seek to fill the heart and mind. The apostle Paul made a list of things that will attempt to fill the void in man's heart and mind. (This list is not meant to be exhaustive. This was listed at random, in no particular order).

1. All unrighteousness

2. Sexual immorality

3. Wickedness

4. Covetousness

5. Maliciousness

6. Full of envy

7. Murder

8. Strife

9. Deceit

10. Evil-mindedness

11. Whisperers

12. Backbiters

13. Haters of God

14. Violent

15. Proud

16. Boasters

17. Inventors of evil things

18. Disobedient to parents

19. Undiscerning

20. Untrustworthy

21. Unloving

22. Unforgiving

23. Unmerciful

THE UNREPENTANT WICKED

Paul was most candid when he drew up this list of things that can fill the heart and mind! He went on to make an even more startling statement about those who persisted in their wickedness.

"Who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who
practise such things are deserving of death, not only do the same
but also approve of those who practise them."
Romans 1:32

The unrepentant wicked know about the righteous judgment of God. They know that those who continue in sin are deserving of death! Their wickedness is evident in their lack of repentance. Worse, they actually encourage people to sin.
