Subject: God's fair standards to judge evildoers |
Bible Note: Hi EdB, I just caught this thread. Maybe this will help. Though Rom 1:18-32 does not speak explicitly of Jesus, he is spoken of since he is God: the same can be said of the Holy Spirit. God judges men according to their works. Those in Rom 1 demonstrate that they know enough truth about the God of scripture and have rejected him, as evidenced by their works. Men are lost because they are sinners and "children of wrath" (Eph 2:3). They refuse to believe the revelation they have been given. It is impossible to worship the God of Scripture without coming to him as he has revealed. Trying to come a different way only results in destruction. If Jesus is the way, truth, and life, any other attempt will fall short. Steve |
