Never Heared About Jesus
What
Will Happen to Those Who Never Hear About Jesus?
by
Michael Horner
” Since
earliest times men have seen the earth and sky and all God made, and have known
of his existence and great eternal power. So they will have no excuse when they
stand before God at Judgment Day.”.[a] Romans
1:20 Living Bible (TLB)
Footnotes:
a. Romans 1:20 no excuse when they stand
before God at Judgment Day, implied; or “no excuse for saying there
is no God.”
Although the Bible
does not give us the complete answer to this question, it does tell us that God
“will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples with equity (or
fairness)” (Psalm
98:9).
God will not condemn a person for rejecting a
Christ they never heard about.
However, we already stand condemned for
something far more basic.
God has revealed Himself to everyone through
the creation around us and the sense of right and wrong inside us.
Each person knows
enough about God that He says we are “without excuse” (Romans 1:20).
It is for this suppression, distortion and
rejection of the true knowledge of God and for the accompanying violation of
God’s laws that we stand condemned.
Only by casting oneself completely on the
mercy of God, and not counting on any of one’s deeds — religious or otherwise —
for right standing with God, can anyone possibly be saved.
