1. The clarity of God's self disclosure strips us of every excuse
According to Calvin God "daily discloses himself in the whole workmanship of the universe"
In our twenty first century world how many people recognise that?
When the countryside and seaside are full of tourists on a sunny day do any of them recognise the source of the beauty and warmth they are enjoying?
Calvin suggests that it was impossible not to acknowledge that God's work points to Him quoting Psalm 104 verse 12. Indeed the order of the universe mentioned by the author of the letter to the Hebrews is to Calvin a mirror in which we can envisage God. These ideas seem alien in a society that largely worships the created order rather than its creator. For all the wonders of modern science and technology can generate new genes or chemical compounds it is the living God who provides the raw material. Do you recognise this? Even when the sun is not shining?
