Romans 1:20 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.
I am FINISHED with EXCUSES.
Pictures-excuses
You can make EXCUSES or you can make PROGRESS but you can’t make both.
We are finished with excuses because:
Romans1:18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness
You will never be able to understand how GOOD the GOOD news is, if you don’t understand how BAD the BAD news is.
HUMAN anger: emotional response that is irrational, uncontrolled, and cruel.
GOD’S anger: righteous opposition to evil and those who choose it
The opposite of anger isn’t LOVE, it’s PASSIVITY.
Romans 1:21-25 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. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles. Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
God’s anger/ judgment is shown in:
Deceived hearts
Depraved minds
Unnatural desires
Acceptance of sin
Romans 1:32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

The CREATION declares there is a CREATOR.
Romans 2:1 You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.
Romans 2:5-6 But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed. God “will repay each person according to what they have done.”
Romans 3:23-25 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith.
Jesus took what I deserved, so that I could get what HE deserved.
