See The Truth
Scripture: Romans 1:19-21 19 They know the truth about God because he has made it obvious to them.20 For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God. Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn't worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. As a result, their minds became dark and confused.22 Claiming to be wise, they instead became utter fools.
Observation: Dr. Taylor paraphrases this and the following verse this: “Although the Gentiles had no written revelation, yet what may be known of God is every where manifest among them, God having made a clear discovery of Himself to them. For his being and perfections, invisible to our bodily eyes, have been, ever since the creation of the world, evidently to be seen, if attentively considered, in the visible beauty, order, and operations observable in the constitution and parts of the universe; especially his eternal power and universal dominion and providence: so that they cannot plead ignorance in excuse of their idolatry and wickedness.”
Application: We all know there is a God and we do not worship Him as we were created to do!. We know that He is true and loving just by seeing nature and we also can tell by the invisible qualities He possesses. However, we are a people who do not even give Him thanks. I wonder how people cannot go to the mountains, or the sea, or the valleys just in our nation and not think of God? Paul says those who argue against God’s creation and claim to be wise will become utter fools.
Prayer: God, I pray that people would look at your creation and marvel at your wondrous works. That the people that I know that try to reason with science that there is no God, that Paul’s words would somehow change their heart. Lord, grant me wisdom and insight on how to minister to these people…but more importantly let your invisible qualities draw them to a relationship with your Son. In Jesus Name…Amen!
