Man
is inexcusable before God because of his Conscience.
The third reason why no one is
excusable before God it is because of his conscience which is the sense of
knowing right and wrong. It is ideas and feelings within a person that tell him
when he is doing right and warn him when he is doing wrong. It is the inner
judge of moral issues.
“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.
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 especially when we have been duly instructed saying; “But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.” And, “These things I have written to you concerning those who try to deceive you. But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him” (Malachi 2:15-16; Job 32.8; 33:4; 1John 2:20,26-27).
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).
“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).
There is therefore no excuse and neither is being convinced of what is right and strictly opposing what is wrong is being judgmental for we have been duly instructed saying; “Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whoever you are who judge, for in whatever you judge another you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things” (Romans 2:1).
We have also been duly instructed saying; “Who are you to judge another's servant? To his own master he stands or falls. Indeed, he will be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand.” (Romans 14:4).
And; “Do not speak evil of one another, brethren. He, who speaks evil of a brother and judges his brother, speaks evil of the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge. There is one Lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. Who are you to judge another? (James 4:11-12).
Nevertheless, we are not to forget and ignore the righteous judgment of God who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them” (Romans 1:32).
The crux of the matter therefore is; “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
for man, because of God's creation which manifest what may be known of God is open to everyone and our conscience which either accuses or excuse and convicts the mind when one does anything.
