eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. Romans 1:20, NIV
"The whole world stands condemned before the great moral standard of righteousness.
The beautiful things of nature reveal His character and His power as Creator.
Nature
is not God, nor was it ever God.
The voice of nature testifies of God,
but nature is not God.
As His created work, it simply bears a testimony
to God's power.
Deity is the author of nature.
The
most difficult and humiliating lesson that man has to learn is his own
inefficiency in depending upon human wisdom, and the sure 
failure of his
own efforts to read nature correctly.
---Sin has obscured his vision, and
of himself he cannot interpret nature without placing it above God. He
cannot discern in it God.
The
righteousness of Christ is revealed from faith to faith; that is, from
your present faith to an increased understanding of that faith which
works by love and purifies the soul."
E.G.W.
