No Excuses

Sometimes we wonder about people who are deep in the jungle somewhere who haven't been exposed to Christianity.  Do they have any responsibility to believe in God?  We may not know all of the answers to this, but some information is made quite clear in the Bible.  One such place is Romans chapter one:

18The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20For 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. 21For 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. 22Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools..

Here we see that they are without excuse, His "invisible qualities....have been clearly seen" since the "creation of the world."  Evidence of God and His existence are all around us and can be clearly seen.

Another passage that shows that God is the maker of all things is in Psalm 95:

 

1Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. 2Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song. 3For the Lord is the great God, the great King above all gods. 4In his hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to him. 5The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land. 6Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker; 7for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care. Today, if only you would hear his voice,

All through the Bible we are shown that God is the creator.  But we see that in the world around us every day, in the night sky, in the workings of our bodies, in every facet of nature.  God expects us to see His handiwork everywhere.  And we all know that His handiwork is amazing.  Praise God!
