Understanding these verses leads the way to eternal life as we follow the Roman Road to Salvation . Man's problem Paul's first conclusion is found at the beginning of Romans, Chapter 2. There is no excuse for man's condition. We cannot point a finger of blame at our family, friends, government, or any other outside influence as a justification for our sin. In the final analysis, every man stands guilty without excuse before a holy God.
Guilt extends to every part of man's existence.
Our being is totally consumed by sin. In I Thessalonians, Paul shows that God's desire is to redeem every part of our existence. The book of Genesis describes the fall of man and its consequences for each part of man. Man is unique among God's creatures in that he was created with a spirit that allows him to have knowledge of God. When man sinned his spiritual eyes were opened and he came to know evil.
