1 | Is John 3:16 for real? | Bible general Archive 1 | Dan K. | 28423 | ||
I wonder about the sincerity of John 3:16. We are told that God loves the world (that is, the people of the world) so much that He has provided a way of salvation. But, in order to be saved you must believe the Gospel. My problem is simply this: millions of people have lived and died and never heard the Gospel. It was not possible for them to believe something they never heard. It seems that if God loves the people of this world so much, He would have the ability to see to it that everyone would have the opportunity to at least hear the Gospel. I wonder about John 3:16.

Greetings Dan! If you would really like to dig into this issue, I would recommend the following book: "How Shall They Be Saved: The Destiny of Those Who Do Not Hear of Jesus" by Millard J. Erickson. It is published by Baker Book House. This book goes into a lot more detail than can be achieved on the Forum! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Hi Tim Moran, Thank you for your suggestion. I do look forward to taking an in-depth look into this matter of the unevangelized. I am concerned about the lost, as I know you are too. Judging from the title of the book you mentioned, it sounds exactly suited to my need. Once again, thank you for your concern. Yours in the Lord, Dan K. |

Scripture ... Rom 1:18ff, 5:8, 10:15-13 ... Dan K, let me add soem Scripture. His love extended to us while we were sinners (Rom 5:8). He has shown Himself to all, and we are all without excuse (1:18ff). However, we need to be sent, to preach, so they can hear, believe and call on Him to be saved (10:15-13). Searcher |
