Manifest in Them

Romans 1:19 "Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them."

God is not an amorphous concept. He is not a vague idea. Man was made "in His image". When we see our fellow man, we see a reflection of God's likeness. This reflection has been marred by man's fallen state, it is a dim, pale reflection, however the fact remains.

That spark of celestial fire called conscience is a remnant of God's image. The ability to love, to be courageous, to sorrow over evil, all of these are imperfect remnants of God's image. Paul tells us what can be known about God is manifest (apparent, evident, known, i.e to be plainly recognized or known) in mankind. What an incredible thought.

And if that wasn't enough, He gave us His Word. And if that wasn't enough, He gave us the rest of creation. All of it proclaims Who God is. Take some time to meditate on these thoughts today.
