Sometimes there are those who feel that God is some kind of an indulgent father who just gives you whatever you ask. There are others who believe that God rather than being an indulgent father is some kind of an impersonal force out yonder floating around the atmosphere somewhere. God is not either of those. But God gives us a very clear picture of what he’s like.

One of the first ways that God chose to reveal himself to man is to reveal himself to man through the natural creation or the material world. There is a God that is the God who created that. But I want to tell you this, that worship of creation isn’t sufficient to be accepted in the eyes of God. And nowhere in the Bible does it even indicate that it’s true.

So stay with me. The second way that God chose to reveal himself is he chose to reveal himself in the conscience of man. God has given to every man and woman a conscience. We are born with it. A person is not born an atheist, born an agnostic, born with a conscience. God, he says that which is known about God is evident within them.

For God made it evident to them. He has written upon the table of every man and woman’s conscience. there is a God and therefore men who say that there is no God are inexcusable. You see unbelief does not make me no longer responsible to God and accountable to him. You see unbelief and doubt and disobedience doesn’t make me unaccountable. I am accountable.

Why? He says first of all that God has revealed enough of himself in the material universe, the natural universe that man has to know if he’s honest with himself. There is a being somebody above and beyond all this who’s put it together. Now he says man’s response has been to choose not to believe that. It’s a choice he makes.
