El sermón titulado "Una humanidad responsable" por Joel Coyoc se centra en la doctrina de la responsabilidad humana ante Dios, sustentada en Romanos 1:21. El predicador argumenta que toda la humanidad es responsable de glorificar a Dios y de no excusarse por su ignorancia de Él, dado que Dios se ha revelado a través de la creación. Coyoc enfatiza que, aunque algunas personas pueden cuestionar la justicia divina respecto a aquellos que no han escuchado el evangelio, la Escritura nos enseña que todos han conocido a Dios de alguna manera, lo que los hace responsables ante Su justicia. La importancia de esta doctrina es significativa, ya que implica que la salvación no se basa en obras, sino en la revelación de Dios en Cristo y en la fidelidad a Su gloria, convirtiéndolo en un privilegio y no solo una obligación para los creyentes.

The Bible reveals that all humanity is responsible before God and has no excuse for failing to glorify Him.
According to Romans 1:21, all of humanity has a clear responsibility to acknowledge and glorify God. The apostle Paul emphasizes that everyone, regardless of their background or beliefs, knows God through His revelation in creation. This knowledge renders humanity without excuse for their actions. The gravity of this responsibility stems from the universal truth that, having known God, they failed to glorify Him as such. This signifies that all individuals are accountable for their rejection of God's glory, leading to a state of darkened understanding and moral failure.
Romans 1:21
God's justice is vital as it ensures that His righteousness is upheld in the face of human sinfulness.
The justice of God is a central theme in Scripture, reinforcing His holiness and the need for humans to respond to His glory. In Romans, Paul highlights that God's wrath is revealed against all unrighteousness, which indicates that justice is not merely a part of God's character but essential to His governance of the universe. Importantly, understanding God's justice compels believers to recognize their need for salvation through Jesus Christ, who fulfills God's justice and mercy. This dual aspect of justice enables believers to appreciate the gravity of sin and the magnitude of God's grace offered through Christ.
Romans 1:18
Glorifying God is essential for Christians because it reflects their understanding of His nature and fulfills their created purpose.
Glorifying God is fundamental to the Christian faith as it aligns believers with their original purpose, which is to reflect God's character and declare His glory. In the sermon, it is noted that mankind was created to showcase God's greatness, and when believers recognize the goodness of God, their response should be one of gratitude and adoration. This act of glorifying God goes beyond mere obligation; it becomes a source of joy and fulfillment, illustrating the transformative power of knowing Christ. Moreover, as Christians glorify God in their lives, they testify of His goodness to the world, furthering His mission on Earth.
Romans 1:21, Philippians 1:11
Giving thanks to God means acknowledging His goodness and mercy in all aspects of life.
Giving thanks to God is an essential aspect of the Christian life, emphasizing the recognition of His sovereignty over all circumstances. Scripture instructs believers to be thankful in all situations, which reflects an understanding of God's providential care and eternal purposes. Acknowledging God in thankfulness implies that believers trust Him to work for their good, even in adversity. This posture of gratitude fosters a deeper relationship with Him, providing peace in acknowledging His continual goodness and mercy, encouraging others around them to also recognize God’s faithfulness.
1 Thessalonians 5:18, Psalm 107:1
