Romans 1:21, Saving an Unthankful Generation
Romans 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
When God created the universe, the earth was the focus. When God created the earth, man was the focus. Man was created only after God had prepared a most habitable paradise for his enjoyment. God placed man in charge of His creation. Only man is made in the image of God, not the angels nor the animal kingdom. Man has the capability to reflect the character and attributes of God. What is God? The Westminster Shorter Catechism states, “God is a Spirit, infinite, eternal and unchangeable in His Being, wisdom, power, holiness, justice, goodness and truth.” In a limited way, man reflect God in His attributes.
