<p>1:20&nbsp;<i>For the invisible things of Him since the creation of the world are clearly seen</i>- a paradox, seeing the invisible. Such vision is only by faith.&nbsp; In the context, Paul is referring to those responsible to God. They are those who &lsquo;see&rsquo; by faith, they are therefore inexcusable. One can have faith, even the faith that sees the invisible, and yet still &lsquo;not get it&rsquo;. See on Rom. 8:19.</p><p><i>Being perceived through the things that are made</i>. The translation here is difficult. The invisible things of God are clearly seen in the things He makes- but the only other usage of the Greek word is in Eph. 2:10: &ldquo;We are His&nbsp;<i>workmanship</i>, created in Christ Jesus&rdquo;. The idea could be that the things of God are made visible, the abstract things of His power, personality and Name are made concrete and tangible- in us His people. We are living witnesses to His power and Divinity.</p><p><i>E</i><i>ven His everlasting power and Divinity- that they may be without excuse</i>- A legal term. The court of Divine judgment is sitting right now, and we who are His people are without excuse for our sin. Paul is building up slowly towards the crescendo of presenting us all as serious, inexcusable sinners, who can be saved by grace alone.&nbsp;</p>
