Romans 1:22
“Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,”
What does Romans 1:22 mean?
People who are convinced of their own wisdom, yet reject what's true about God, end up living in a kind of foolishness they don't recognize. Paul isn't calling out people who are genuinely thoughtful or educated, but rather those whose certainty in their own understanding becomes a blindness. It's a gentle but firm warning that real wisdom starts with humility before God, not confidence in ourselves alone. Many find this verse speaks to how easy it is for any of us to mistake pride for insight.
