Bible Question: Where does it say (if it does) in the Bible, That God will make himself know to every man. My girlfriend and I were talking and I said He is faithful to make himself known to all men. He will come to each man or woman before they die. That he gives each of us a change to know him. She said that is not true and I am pulling it out of context. If I am then shame on me but why do I think this to be true. God Bless you for your help, Pam |
Bible Answer: Greetings, Bradk is correct. Paul clearly tells us in the first chapter of Romans that God is clearly seen to every person. The difference is the perception of the person. There are those who perceive and follow the will of God. There are those who refuse to perceive and as such, become subject to God's wrath. Romans 1:18-32 is all about those who refuse to perceive God's power and authority. As their refusal continues, God begins to punish them. Over time, these punishments grow more and more severe until finally, the only option is death. Paul makes his argument very clear. It's never been about whether or not God shows himself to us. It's all about whether or not we want to pay attention. Quvmoh |
