18 But God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked people who suppress the truth by their wickedness. 19 They know the truth about God because he has made it obvious to them. 20 For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky.

Dig Into Romans With Me (Week 4-Romans 1:18-20)
The biblical book of Romans is actually a letter, written by Paul to Christians in Rome.
