The Spirit of God directed Paul, the apostle writing this letter to begin the first section with an elaboration of the Gospel by drawing attention to sin, God's wrath against sin, and man's rebellion.

With the rejection of God and elevation of their own self the moral condition of man deteriorates drastically as the power of sin controls and corrupts with little, if any self-restraint.
