Written on our Conscience


Written on our Conscience

The Gospel to the Romans




Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.  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:
~  Romans 1:19-20 KJV   

The Apostle Paul begins his explanation of the Gospel by showing us our greatest problem.  That is, while GOD requires perfect righteousness to enter his presence, all we have is sin and guilt.  We see that no one has any excuse, because we all know there is a GOD and that HE deserves our worship.  We can see clearly by what HE has made.  All of creation, the earth, sun and moon, and the universe all point to the fact that an infinitely wise and powerful Creator made all these things.  Even more than that, Paul goes on to say that we know what is morally right; that we are made male and female in GOD's image, that marriage is honorable, that it is evil to oppress and hurt one another.  All men know these things, they are written on our conscience!  This is why he says, "we are without excuse".
