Introduction: Is man without excuse before a holy God? What about those who have never heard the gospel? What about those who have never read a Bible? This includes those located in secluded jungles with primitive lifestyles. In this devotion, we will explore a biblical passage that seems to address this mysterious situation.

 

Paul, like a prosecuting attorney takes the stand to defend truth. He enumerates God’s righteousness through several witnesses. The first witness is creation. Visible evidence stares right in the face of every human being. One can look around and clearly see the radiant sun, the beaming moon, and the twinkling stars at night. How did they get here? Who put them in their proper place? How can we tell? Is there a confirmation anywhere?

 

Regardless of one’s light, these sources are shining brightly every moment. In addition, both the plant kingdom as well as the animal kingdom point to a Master Designer. Is man his own god? Unfortunately, many have embraced this lie. But instead, the visible things of the creation of the world are witnesses confirming biblical truth.

 

Furthermore, this Creator Designer has strategically inserted a mechanism in every human being which sounds an alarm between right and wrong. Ultimately, the Surgeon will not manipulate the patient but will allow him or her to decide what and who to believe. Their response determines their final destination. Have you made your decision? What is your response?

 

Conclusion: Bottom line: God is just. Jesus Christ has established His order of creation (Col 1:16) so that man is without excuse. The Truth sets us free!

 

Love y’all,
