Bible Note: Beja Thank you for your excellent exposition of Romans 1:18-32. And I agree and I would like to add that even those that do know God and worship him are guilty of sin. Romans 3:23 (NASB) 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, So what keeps us from eternal damnation? Is it not the Blood of Jesus and our belief that he paid for our sins and accepting Him as our Lord and Savior and soon coming king? My view of Romans 1:18-32 is talking to person that claims to a be an atheist, saying there is no God and therefore refusing to worship God. To me that person is different than the Jew that loves God and worships him with all his heart. Yet that Jew unless he is in Christ has no way to atone or pay for his sin. His name is not written in the Lambs Book of Life and therefore according to Rev 20 he will be cast into the lake of fire. Now the question becomes what happens to the person who like the Jew dearly loves God, tries to live a righteous life and may even realize he can’t in himself and understands his need for a Messiah. But this person for whatever reason has never heard of Jesus Christ. Does God deal with him differently than the Jew that lived the same life but rejected Jesus? THAT IS THE QUESTION! I said I don’t know because to me this situation is never addressed by scripture. |
