“Godhead: Internal/External Testimony”

Blessings folk!

We are looking at “Godhead”.

Be not ashamed of the gospel.
Live by faith.

Read the passage again.
Repetition is at the heart of learning.

Rom 1:16-20

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written,
The just shall live by faith.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them;
for God hath shewed it unto them.

For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead;
so that they are without excuse:


The wrath of God!
In the midst of a passage about the gospel and faith we see the wrath of God!

Why?

Because, God’s wrath is revealed from heaven.
God’s wrath is…

  • against all ungodliness
  • against all unrighteousness of man
  • against all who hold the truth in unrighteousness…interesting phrase
    • Do they know the truth and yet walk in unrighteousness? The following verses reveal this to be true.

The last two verses contain one of the most profound truth in all of the Word.
Think on these today.
We will discuss more later.

  1. What may be known about God is manifest within in them…the unrighteous.

How?
God showed it to them.

There is an testimony of God inside every human.
They know God is real.
They know He exist.
An internal testimony.

(2) The invisible things of God are seen and understood by the things of creation.
Creation testifies to the eternal power and Godhead (there we go!) of God.
An external testimony.

Again,
An internal testimony of God within every human.
An external testimony of God to every human via creation and what is seen.

The conclusion?
All are without excuse.

Selah!
