For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, ‘The righteous shall live by faith.’ Romans 1:16,17 (ESV)
The gospel message is that Jesus’ death on the cross paid the debt that we owe for our rebellious sins against God and that we can be forgiven of our sins and restored to fellowship and made right with God if we admit our rebellion against God’s authority in our lives and surrender our lives to the lordship of Jesus.

For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. Romans 1:19,20 (ESV)
Man will be without excuse when he has to give an account of his life before God. If man says that he did not know that God existed, he will be lying because God has made himself known to every person through his creation. Every person has some perception of God’s character and power.

For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God, or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools. Romans 1:21,22 (ESV)
When a person refuses to honor God and to express gratitude to him, their reasoning becomes useless and they cannot see the path of life because the path is cloaked in darkness instead of light. In their foolishness they actually believe that they have wisdom.
