Ever since the world was created it has been possible to see the qualities of God that are not seen. I’m talking about his eternal power and about the fact that he is God. Those things can be seen in what he has made. So people have no excuse for what they do.

Look up toward the sky. Who created everything you see? The Lord causes the stars to come out at night one by one. He calls out each one of them by name. His power and strength are great. So none of the stars is missing.

The heavens tell about the glory of God. The skies show that his hands created them.Day after day they speak about it. Night after night they make it known.But they don’t speak or use words. No sound is heard from them.Yet their voice goes out into the whole earth. Their words go out from one end of the world to the other. God has set up a tent in the heavens for the sun.The sun is like a groom leaving the room of his wedding night. The sun is like a great runner who takes delight in running a race.It rises at one end of the heavens. Then it moves across to the other end. Everything enjoys its warmth.

The heavens were made when the Lord commanded it to happen. All the stars were created by the breath of his mouth.He gathers together the waters of the sea. He puts the oceans in their places.Let the whole earth have respect for the Lord. Let all the people in the world honor him.He spoke, and the world came into being. He commanded, and it stood firm.

They show that what the law requires is written on their hearts. The way their minds judge them proves this fact. Sometimes their thoughts find them guilty. At other times their thoughts find them not guilty.

When you look up at the heavens, you will see the sun and moon. And you will see huge numbers of stars. Don’t let anyone tempt you to bow down to the sun, moon or stars. Don’t worship things the Lord your God has provided for all the nations on earth.

You created the deepest parts of my being. You put me together inside my mother’s body.

You will be faithful for all time to come. You made the earth, and it continues to exist.

If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. But now they have no excuse for their sin.

If you judge someone else, you have no excuse for it. When you judge another person, you are judging yourself. You do the same things you blame others for doing.

Suppose I’ve worshiped the sun in all its glory. I’ve bowed down to the moon in all its beauty.My heart has been secretly tempted. My hand has thrown kisses to the sun and moon.Then these things would have been sins that should be judged. And I wouldn’t have been faithful to God in heaven.

The Son is the exact likeness of God, who can’t be seen. The Son is first, and he is over all creation.

But Christ offered himself to God without any flaw. He did this through the power of the eternal Holy Spirit. So how much cleaner will the blood of Christ make us! It washes away our feelings of guilt for committing sin. Sin always leads to death. But now we can serve the living God.

May the glory of the Lord continue forever. May the Lord be happy with what he has made.

God’s whole nature is living in Christ in human form.

“ Yes, we are God’s children. So we shouldn’t think that God is made out of gold or silver or stone. He isn’t a statue planned and made by clever people.

Praise him, lightning and hail, snow and clouds. Praise him, you stormy winds that obey him.Praise him, all you mountains and hills. Praise him, all you fruit trees and cedar trees.Praise him, all you wild animals and cattle. Praise him, you small creatures and flying birds.Praise him, you kings of the earth and all nations. Praise him, all you princes and rulers on earth.Praise him, young men and women. Praise him, old men and children.

God lives forever! You can run to him for safety. His powerful arms are always there to carry you. He will drive out your enemies to make room for you. He’ll say to you,‘ Destroy them!’
