All men are without exuse

Romans 1:20 "For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities- His eternal power and divine nature- have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse."
You know that infamous question, "What if there is that one guy all alone on an island and no one has told him about God, will God have mercy on him?" Well,what Paul is saying here is that God's creation alone is enough for men to know that God exists because nature glorifies God's divinity. We are without excuse in the face of nature's testimony. So since all men know of God, when they choose to worship idols or anything other than the one true God, they trade God's glory for condemnation. What we need to do as Christians is to introduce them to the One True God in replacement of their false gods they have been deceived into worshiping. When we convince people that he exist, we can use nature as an example of His power, His divine nature, His love, His creativity, and help them to see it as His special gift to us.

Lord, thank for your creation. It truly is wonderful. I want to sing your praises, because I know that if i don't, the rocks will cry out instead. I'm not going to let them beat me to it. Thank you for your love for me, Jesus.
