In Romans chapter 1:18 it says; “The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness.” It is because of people’s sin that they suppress the truth about God. In verses 19 and 20 it says; “since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.” When people sin and choose not to repent, not only do they stop believing in the Lord, but they are left with no excuse for their error. The Bible says that God is made plain to them, through the creation and through their conscience, God is revealed. Verses 21-23 says; “For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.”
Mankind is called to remember their Creator. In Ecclesiastes 12:1 it says; “Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come and the years approach when you will say, “I find no pleasure in them"— All the difficulties we face could be more manageable if we turned from the sins of unbelief and acknowledged God. As time progresses man should realize that the longer they live, the closer they are to meeting the Lord. Jesus Christ said he was coming again, but Bible prophecy is being fulfilled in our days where the majority of people mock at us for saying this, (2 Peter 3:4). I never thought I’d live to see the day where more and more people are living like there won’t be a judgment day, or fail to live with the anticipation of the second coming of Jesus Christ. Which is imminent.
Again, the problem is that because people are unwilling to forsake their sins and get right with God, which actually results in forgetting our Lord. May you be quick to remember that their is a God, He is loving, and it’s up to you to remember Him. This is Mike.
