The third main reason why no one is excusable before God

 

The third main reason why no one is excusable before God it is because of conscience which is the sense of right and wrong. It is ideas and feelings within a person that tell him/her when he/she is doing right and warn him when he/she is doing wrong. It is the inner judge of moral issues.

It is stated quite clearly that; “God has given to all life [eternal], breath {physical existence], and all things, and has determined their pre-appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, 'For we are also His offspring.'

”Jesus Christ came to give us an understanding that we may know Him who is true, and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ (Acts 17:24-28; John 17:3; 1John  5:20).

Man is endowed with a remnant of God’s Spirit, and the breath [spirit] of the Almighty gives him understanding. Therefore, no one is excusable, we all should heed to our spirit who receives the knowledge of God (Malachi 2:15-16; Job 32.8; 33:4).

It is written; “As many as have sinned without law [knowledge] will perish without law, and as many as have sinned in the law [knowledgeable] will be judged by the law. For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do the things contained in the law, these although not having the law, are a law to themselves who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or else excusing on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus” (Romans 2:12-16).

It is clearly stated that; “The servant who knew his master’s will: but did not make ready or act according to his will, shall receive a severe beating. But he who did not know, and did what deserved a beating, shall receive a light beating” (Luke. 12: 47-48).

Therefore, ignorance of the law is no excuse because; anyone who does what the law requires whether knowingly or unknowingly will automatically reap the benefits. In like manner, whoever knowingly or unknowingly does anything contrary to the law will pay the consequences and so there absolutely no excuse?

And so we have been duly admonished saying; “Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows that he will also reap. For, “He who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption.” They shall suffer the punishment of everlasting destruction and exclusion from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His might. But, “He who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap Everlasting life” (Galatians 6:7-8).

No one therefore is excusable before God because, everyone is predestined in Jesus Christ, to fulfill God's purpose for man and there is absolutely no partiality with God; There is also God's creation with its natural laws which manifest what may be known of God is open to everyone, and of course, our conscience which either accuses or excuses us and convicts the mind when one does anything whether good or evil and for these reasons there is absolutely no excuse.
