No Excuses–Innate Knowledge of God
In Romans, Paul speaks of those who reject God because they lie to themselves.
They reject the truth and therefore are chosen for wrath. God has a day of wrath when wrath is poured out on people. That wrath has been stored up until the day of judgment. God’s wrath is for those who obey unrighteousness. Throughout life, the unrighteous experience God's wrath in another way. Rather than pouring out wrath, the unrighteous experience God's wrath simply because God allows the natural consequences of their actions. God's wrath is also Him allowing human wickedness to run its course and merely removing His hand of protection. God’s wrath is from Him in the way that this is how God designed it - that your choices will bring about natural consequences.
God claims these consequences as his wrath for sin for those who suppress the truth. We know the truth because the truth is in creation and yet, the truth is denied by many from creation. God’s magnificence can be seen in everything that He has created. If you want to look at creation and say there isn’t a God, that’s a decision you’re making.
Nature doesn’t tell us everything we should know about Jesus and the Gospel to become a Christian, but it tells us some raw realities about God as eternal power and his divine nature that point us toward the God of the Bible. To express their own will over God’s will, many people deny him and inevitably will suffer the consequences of their choices. “They are without excuse” means they knew what they needed to know to find their way to God.
A day comes when Christ returns and the sheep are separated from the goats, and Christ takes those who belong to him. Will you be with those who submitted to God’s eternal power, who trusted God through Jesus Christ with everything? Will you be with those who believe that Jesus is the way and the truth and the life and that no one comes to the Father except through him (John 14:6)? Or will you be left clinging to the world that denies God’s eternal power and divine nature, the world that is dying, and will be crushed under the weight of sin?
