Attention! All Heathens have: Evidence of the power of God….. Romans 1:19-20 Living Bible (TLB) 19 For the truth about God is known to them instinctively;[a] God has put this knowledge in their hearts. 20 Since earliest times men have seen the earth and sky and all God made, and have known of his existence and great eternal power. So they will have no excuse when they stand before God at Judgment Day.[b] Notes: a. Romans 1:19 is known to them instinctively, literally, “is manifest in them.” b. Romans 1:20 no excuse when they stand before God at Judgment Day, implied; or “no excuse for saying there is no God.” c. Acts 17:27 Living Bible (TLB) d. 27 “His purpose in all of this is that they should seek after God, and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him—though he is not far from any one of us. EVIDENCE of the goodness of God….. Acts 14:17 Living Bible (TLB) 17 but he never left himself without a witness; there were always his reminders—the kind things he did such as sending you rain and good crops and giving you food and gladness.” The TESTIMONY of Conscience….. Romans 2:14-15 Living Bible (TLB) 12-15 He will punish sin wherever it is found. He will punish the heathen when they sin, even though they never had God’s written laws, for down in their hearts they know right from wrong. God’s laws are written within them; their own conscience accuses them, or sometimes excuses them. And God will punish the Jews for sinning because they have his written laws but don’t obey them. They know what is right but don’t do it. After all, salvation is not given to those who know what to do, unless they do it.
