Romans chapter 1 presents the character of God in His righteousness, justice, and truth. He is everything man needs. Without God we are nothing, our minds and empty and longing for peace, our hearts and souls are empty and longing from something, anything to fill lifes painful void! God's demand is that we should love the Lord our God with all of our heart and soul and mind! It is the sinful rebellion of man that we exclude God from heart, soul and mind and lie dead and empty before Him.
