What do you see today? Romans 1:16-23 Verses 16-17 contain one of the greatest summaries of the gospel ever written. It is a clear declaration of God’s power to save all who believe, no matter their nationality or condition. It is a clear explanation of why Paul was never ashamed of the gospel.Men without the law, the heathen, are taught by nature and conscience. However, they have sinned by falling short of the standard of righteousness given to them.When man turns on the Lord, and closes his eyes to the truth of God, he really thinks he is wise! His perception of himself is that he has all the angels figured out and all the bases covered. In reality, God says that while they think they are so smart, they are nothing but fools!Romans was likely written while Paul was staying in the house of Gaius in Corinth. The final judgment is coming, that great day when all unbelievers shall stand before God and give an account to God. The final judgment is called the “Great White Throne Judgment.” God has done all He can. He has provided the way of salvation for every person. All a person has to do is to follow that way, to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and follow Him.
