00:00:00.000 In less than a year, our podcast has gone from an average of 10,000 downloads a month
00:00:04.300 to 50,000 downloads. What made the difference? You leaving us a five-star review. The more
00:00:10.260 positive reviews, the more the algorithm picks us up, and more people are confronted by the law
00:00:16.360 and gospel of Jesus Christ. Help us press forward the crown rights of King Jesus by leaving us a
00:00:23.480 five-star review on your favorite podcast platform. Thanks. God brings nations up and
00:00:30.340 brings them down based on their commitment to Him, whether or not they're righteous.
00:00:35.680 And if a nation does wicked things, God will bring them down, bring them low, destroy them.
00:00:40.780 And in doing wicked things, what's mentioned in Jeremiah 18 is one of the wicked things,
00:00:45.620 or what causes them to do wicked things, is not listening to God's voice. Okay? Well,
00:00:49.980 what if they never had God's voice? What if this nation doesn't have the Bible? It doesn't matter.
00:00:53.480 God's voice comes through the Bible, but it also comes through what he has made through natural
00:00:58.240 revelation. Skies are preaching, pouring forth speech, beast, birds, fish, all these things
00:01:04.780 that God has made so that all men are without an excuse, which we'll land on that. That's Romans
00:01:09.880 1, 18 through 20. And what is God? So that's how God is speaking. Who is he speaking to? Everyone.
00:01:16.380 How is he speaking? By what he has made. What is he speaking? According to Job chapter 12,
00:01:21.360 or seven through 10, one of the things that he's speaking is that he exists and that he's the source
00:01:26.900 of life and that he holds every living creature in the breath of mankind in his hand. And that
00:01:32.380 if something takes place, it is the Lord who has done it. That's the message. So we've talked about
00:01:38.920 how he speaks, who he speaks to, but what does he speak? What he speaks is that he exists,
00:01:45.600 that he is the creator he is the source and he is sovereign everything that happens happens
00:01:53.140 underneath his providence and his sovereign banner he decreed it lastly if it wasn't already
00:01:59.780 clear enough just for those of you who just feel like yeah but it's old testament i really love
00:02:05.500 the idea of unhitching unhitching well let me give you a new testament verse that you really don't
00:02:10.860 need because the doctrine has already been firmly established at this point but we'll go ahead put
00:02:15.500 the final nail in the coffin. This is Romans chapter 1 verse 18 through 20. For the wrath of
00:02:19.800 God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who by their unrighteousness
00:02:26.200 suppress the truth. For what can be known, here's again the contents, what is God's voice saying?
00:02:33.560 What can be known about God? Let me stop for just a moment here. This is the argument that I'm trying
00:02:39.720 to make. I'm just going to say it abundantly clearly so that nobody could possibly miss it.
00:02:43.660 the voice of God through natural revelation and creation
00:02:46.940 does not just communicate to man
00:02:49.260 the contents of the second table of the law.
00:02:53.180 Through natural revelation,
00:02:54.820 through birds and fish and beasts and skies
00:02:56.980 and day to day and night to night,
00:02:59.540 God is not through natural revelation
00:03:01.320 merely communicating to man that it's wrong to murder
00:03:04.480 and that he should honor his father and mother,
00:03:08.160 that it's wrong to steal,
00:03:10.220 that it's wrong to covet,
00:03:11.540 it's wrong to lie. 0.50
00:03:13.660 that's not the only message, wrong to commit adultery. I knew there was one more, that's it.
00:03:21.080 God is not merely communicating through natural revelation to nations everywhere in the world
00:03:25.760 that it's wrong to breach the second table of the law. That's not what the Bible teaches.
00:03:31.540 What the Bible instead teaches is that through natural revelation, one of the prominent
00:03:36.000 tenets of the contents of God's message is not about the second table of the law, but the first.
00:03:42.040 one of the things that God's communicating is himself not just horizontal um moral rules for
00:03:50.960 our interaction with our fellow man but God is actually speaking about not just morality and
00:03:55.680 how we treat fellow people but he's talking about himself it speaks to himself his sovereignty his
00:04:02.380 power his existence and Romans 1 makes this plain I believe Job's 12 already suffices but Romans 1
00:04:09.960 makes it abundantly plain. So for what can be known about how we treat our neighbor, how to
00:04:16.280 love our neighbor, the second table of the law, what can be known about God? God is plain to them
00:04:21.840 because God has shown it to them for his, not just his laws and how we treat our fellow man,
00:04:29.020 but his invisible attributes, his own character, things about himself, namely his eternal power
00:04:36.400 and divine nature have been not just his voice pouring forth, speech pouring forth, not just has
00:04:42.360 the message been sent out, but it's been clearly perceived. So God spoke, every man heard, and what
00:04:50.480 was the message about? How to love your neighbor, uh-huh, but also how to love the Lord your God.
00:04:57.120 That God exists, God is sovereign, God is holy, and you, oh man, need to bow the knee, kiss the sun,
00:05:06.400 lest he be angry and his wrath quickly kindled.
00:05:10.500 Pay homage to King Jesus.
00:05:14.080 That is a message that everyone knows.
00:05:16.640 Whether they've had one verse of the Bible
00:05:18.800 delivered to them or not.
00:05:21.140 Every single person knows there is a God in heaven.
00:05:24.820 He made all things.
00:05:26.380 He is sovereign.
00:05:27.540 He is holy.
00:05:28.700 And he is worthy of our worship.
00:05:30.840 And that's precisely why Romans 1 goes on to say
00:05:33.920 that those who refuse these things that god has said his eternal power his divine nature has
00:05:41.260 clearly been perceived ever since the creation of the world and still to this day 2 000 years
00:05:45.940 after the cross and how is it perceived what's the vehicle in the things that have been made
00:05:50.520 that's nature itself creation natural revelation
00:05:53.100 We'll be right back.
