Never had a chance to reject Christ |
|
Note:

Why did you separate verse 18 from its context, since that verse is what the rest of the chapter is explaining?
"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness"
--Romans 1:18
Romans 1 is saying that we ALL know the truth regarding God's existence and character, because it is clearly displayed in the created universe ("the creation of the world...the things that are made" in v. 20), which we all have access to. We deny the truth that is right before our eyes...we suppress it in unrighteousness.
The truth of God the Father is not hidden from anyone, and it is our rejection and rebellion against that truth that condemns us and makes us worthy of His wrath. Romans 1:20 says that human beings are without excuse.
In the total context of Romans 1-3, we see that Paul, inspired by God, completely and totally rules out any Jew or any Gentile having anything but a closed mouth at the judgment seat of God. The Jews had the Scriptures (Romans 3:1-2), but all men have the light of creation (Romans 1:20) and the light of conscience -- the moral sense that is given to all human beings (Romans 2:14-15). Romans 3:9-18 gives the indictment of all, and Romans 3:23 reinforces it.
All human beings stand rightfully and knowingly under God's judgment. Those who "do not know" are in denial, blind by their depraved natures. Individuals are worthy of Hell not for first rejecting Christ, but for rejection and treason against God the Father.
