But God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked people who push the truth away from themselves. 19 For the truth about God is known to them instinctively. God has put this knowledge in their hearts. 20 From the time the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky and all that God made. They can clearly see his invisible qualities - his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse whatsoever for not knowing God. (Search your hearts. No one is watching you do this. No one can see you looking deep within yourselves. Is this true?)
Romans 2:1 You may be saying, "What terrible people you have been talking about!" but you are just as bad, and you have no excuse! When you say they are wicked and should be punished, you are condemning yourself, for you do these very same things. 2 And we know that God, in his justice, will punish anyone who does such things. 3 Do you think that God will judge and condemn others for doing them and not judge you when you do them, too? 4 Don't you realize how kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you? Or don't you care? Can't you see how kind he has been in giving you time to turn from your sin?
Romans 2:15 They demonstrate that God's law is written within them, for their own consciences iether accuse them or tell them they are doing what is right. 16 The day will come when God, by Jesus Christ, will judge everyone's secret life. This is my message.
Romans 3:20 For no one can ever be made right in God's sight by doing what his law commands. For the more we know God's law, the clearer it becomes that we aren't obeying it. (This passage REALLY stuck out to me. "For the more we know God's law, the clearer it becomes that we aren't obeying it." You better believe that!!! I realized real quick my life was full of "wrongs". A very powerful verse this is!)
