"For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 

Roman1:21NASB.

The gospel of Christ is the power of God unto salvation for everyone who believes, for it is by faith we are saved... but how many refuse to place their trust in the very God Who created them, and Who sent His only begotten  Son, to be the sacrifice for the sin of mankind. 

Many like to call themselves atheists or agnostics refusing to believe in their Creator, despite overwhelming evidence, in every area of God's creation. Some, have adopted  doctrines of demons and foolish philosophies of men, while others and been hoodwinked into serving false gods or believing in a distorted Scripture causing All to deny the Lord Who bought them. 

This rejection of the true and living God, is not only a modern trend, which is evidence  throughout the nation's of our time. This spurning of God and His gracious offer salvation has been evident, in every nation and generation, from the beginning of  creation, and has continued unabated, down  through the corrupt corridors of time.

Men are sinners by nature, making the whole world guilty before the Lord. And although the heavens declare the glory of God and the glittering stars in the firmament of heaven, displayed His powerful handiwork, fallen man has rejected their mighty Creator, and formed their own little gods in their own foolish image. 

Although every man knows, in their intellect, because of the magnificence and intricacies of His creation, and the unparalleled  wonders of His creative handiwork... nevertheless, they refused to acknowledge  Him as their maker.They do not give Him the glory He justly deserves... neither do they offer Him their thanks and praise, for all that He has done for each one of us.

God's condemnation of the pagan world, and His righteous indignation against their foolishness is because the invisible majesty, the eternal power and the glory of God is clearly displayed throughout the creations and yet,despite knowingly the truth,they  suppress it through their wild imaginations, which causes their hearts to become hastened, calluses and unrepentant. This is the sorry of fallen humanity,who in prideful conceit, have chosen to hand themselves over to worldly philosophies, foolish imaginations and futile speculation, instead of acknowledging the true, incorruptible, infinite and living God. How sad, that even though they knew God, they did not honour Him as God, nor did they give Him the Thanksgiving and praise, He deserves... but they became futile in their stupid speculations, and their foolish heart became shrouded in a satanically inspired darkness. 

Paul's description of unregenerate men, in this first chapter of Roman's, not only refers to past, pagan, gentile nation of long ago a and generations of prideful, unbelieving Israel. It is also perfectly describes the arrogant, anti-God agenda of the 21st century, which has become so painfully familiar in this God-hating agenda of the 21st century, which has become  so painfully familiar, in this God-hating, Christ-rejecting, a sinful world. 

Nevertheless, Christ died for each one, and while it is still "Today." There is time for sinners to turn from their wicked ways and to trust in the true and living ways and to trust in the true and living God. There is no who is too far removed from Gods saving money grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Let us continue to share the good news of the  gospel of grace, with those that are dead in their sins and living under God's  condemnation for who knows, if some may turn from their sinful  ways and trust in Christ for the salvation of their soul?
