God has shown it

For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "The just shall live by faith.” For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. – Romans 1.17-19

God hates sin. He is angry at sin. God pours out his wrath against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men. Man suppresses his thoughts of God in his own unrighteous acts, even though they know it is wrong. The more man dismisses God the easier it becomes.

That tells me a lot.

In the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed as faith is passed from one to another. This is a bit of confusing passage to translate. But it looks to me that faith is passed on by faith, because the just shall live by faith and will share that faith. 

Man knows he is broken. That is why throughout history man has sought a way to placate God. God has shown man his unrighteousness. One way to deal with it is just to ignore God and write Him out of our thoughts. Of course, that does no good. It is kind of like ignoring cancer.

On the other hand we can accept the truth that 'the just shall live by faith.'

It all comes down to faith. It is impossible to scientifically prove God to a sceptic. It just can’t be done.  Faith comes from faith. The gospel is spread from faith to faith. And faith is the motivation by which we live.

Man knows he is not righteous. All men know they do bad things. God has made that clear to every man. That can only be fixed by faith. We are responsible to pass on our faith. Faith is spread by faith.

Are we passing on our faith as we should?
