What is truth ?
A relative thing
Something we create but as we have seen Romans 1:25
25 because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.
This is the state of a fallen world
We have worshiped the creator over the creation
What does this say about the romans view of God? How about our view of God?
Read Exodus 34:6-7
6 The Lord passed before him and proclaimed, “The Lord, the Lord, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, 7 keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and the children’s children, to the third and the fourth generation.”

The name of God and his saving works

His character is first one of salvation
But he must save us from something
Right what is that
HIs nature is different than ours
His commands are higher than ours
He is these things because we need him t obe in order to save us from ourselves
We have broken his law and fallen short of his glory
Thank God that he is this
We need him to be
Keeping in steadfast love
Forgiving iniquities
And transgression
We need him to be good because his wrath is so great
His punishment is so final
7 keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and the children’s children, to the third and the fourth generation.”
By no means clear the guilty
