You had no hope and were without God in the world. —Eph. 2:12.


Today, many do not believe in the concept of being sinners. Why not? Even if they go to church on
occasion, they consider the Bible account of Adam and Eve to be merely a fable or a myth. Others
grow up in an anti-God climate.They doubt that God exists and therefore do not understand
that a Supreme Being set moral standards for humans and that failure to uphold those standards
amounts to sin.

In the letter to the Romans, Paul presented a reason why such a background cannot be an excuse—not then,
not today.

It is that creation itself bears witness to the existence of
a Creator. (Rom. 1:19, 20)

This accords with an observation Paul made when writing from Rome to the Hebrews: “Every house is constructed
by someone, but he that constructed all things is God.â€￾(Heb. 3:4) That line of reasoning points to there being a Creator
who constructed, or brought into existence, the entire universe.
