Scripture
Does man have an excuse for not following God’s law?
Romans 2 shows that even those who did not receive the written law still have a conscience that bears witness to right and wrong.
“They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness.” (Rom. 2:15)
God’s standard is not hidden from humanity. Our conscience itself points to moral accountability before him.
We may try to excuse ourselves, but Scripture reminds us that God sees the heart — and that ultimately, we all need his mercy.
