No Excuse


For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; because that which may be known of God is manifest in them, for God hath showed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.
Romans 1:18-20 KJV.

Paul is teaching us some valuable things here. So many people worship things in creation rather than the Creator. Why? Because people find it difficult to put their faith in what they cannot see. Paul is teaching, in these verses, that what may be known of God can be seen in the world, can be seen in creation. While we may not see God physically, we can see Him through what is found outside our window. To believe that all we see just happened to come about by some kind of cosmic explosion (aka The Big Bang Theory) takes more faith to believe than to know that all we see was created by a God who wants a relationship with you.

Paul said in verse 20, "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse." The existence of God is clearly seen through the things we can see. To say "there is not God" is just wrong. God is there, God is real. And we have no excuse for not believing He exists because God is clearly seen through the things that are made. When we start believing otherwise, that is when the falling away starts. That is when we start worshiping the creation rather than the Creator.

The question we need to explore today is this, do you worship the creation instead of the Creator? Think About It.
