An Answer

grrr i accidently deleted my blog :( so ill try and do it again :(

I have been reading romans and yesterday i read this and it really was relevant to my last blog

Romans 1:18-21 (i like this version best):For God's [holy] wrath and indignation are revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who in their wickedness repress and hinder the truth and make it inoperative.For that which is known about God is evident to them and made plain in their inner consciousness, because God [Himself] has shown it to them. For ever since the creation of the world His invisible nature and attributes, that is, His eternal power and divinity, have been made intelligible and clearly discernible in and through the things that have been made (His handiworks). So [men] are without excuse [altogether without any defense or justification], Because when they knew and recognized Him as God, they did not honor and glorify Him as God or give Him thanks. But instead they became futile and [a]godless in their thinking [with vain imaginings, foolish reasoning, and stupid speculations] and their senseless minds were darkened...vs32 Though they are fully aware of God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve to die, they not only do them themselves but approve and applaud others who practice them.


After my last blog i was still wondering about Gods mercy etc and thinking 'its not fair' when i read these verses. it sorta made things clear again in my mind. we are sinners and we deserve death. thats it. Thru Gods grace and love the price was paid and all we have to do is believe!! i love one of relient k's lyrics, it says 'grace is what makes life unfair'. God makes himself evident to everyone and its true creation does point out Gods glory and beauty. Its all about making a choice. I know personally when i started walking the opposite direction, God did so much and used so many people to bring my attention back on Him. but it was a choice i made to follow Him again. We are stubborn people and we like being in control and we dont like variables, but like these verse says we all have an opportunity.
(hmm :) my first one was better it kinda wrapped itself up...im bit lost for words :P).
For me i think i have to remember this...altho like i said it has given me a passion to tell others about God...it comes down to the individual and they have to make their own decision about God.

One thing im pondering tho from vs 32. is accepting a persons sinful behaviour the same as approving/appaulding...cuz we are a very accepting society?? :?
