Greetings Lionstrong! Okay, I'll retract the word "seek" and simply say that God will make Himself known. :-) Rom. 10:20 - "And Isaiah boldly says, ‘‘I was found by those who did not seek me; I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me.”" Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Hi Tim! So far, so good! Now look at the second verse I shared to answer the question, How does God reveal himself to those who did not seek or ask for him? Peace, Lionstrong |

Hi Tim: The ONLY means God has given to propitiate his just wrath against our sin is the blood of his precious and beloved Son, the Lord Jesus (Act 4:14). Jesus has said himself that no one will come to God by any other means (Jn 14:6). Having said that, God is sovereign and THROUGH CHIRST he will save anyone anyway he wants to, but in Scripture (as I've said already) he has ordained the usual means by which people come to faith, and that is the us, our getting the word out. I challenge anyone to find in God's Word any other way that God brings people to saving faith other than the proclamation of his revealed word (not natural revelation) by his people. This whole thread is based on the screwed up notion that EVERYBODY gets "a chance" and that it would be unjust of God for this not to be so. Nonsense! (I also suspect that some of us are trying to salve our own guilt for not telling our neighbors about Christ.) But once that foolishness is out of the way, we understand that God holds us responsible for "blowing the trumpet" to warn of the coming wrath. Ezek 33:1 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Ezek 33:2 "Son of man, speak to the sons of your people and say to them, 'If I bring a sword upon a land, and the people of the land take one man from among them and make him their watchman, Ezek 33:3 and he sees the sword coming upon the land and blows on the trumpet and warns the people, Ezek 33:4 then he who hears the sound of the trumpet and does not take warning, and a sword comes and takes him away, his blood will be on his own head. Ezek 33:5 'He heard the sound of the trumpet but did not take warning; his blood will be on himself. But had he taken warning, he would have delivered his life. Ezek 33:6 'But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet and the people are not warned, and a sword comes and takes a person from them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will require from the watchman's hand.' Ezek 33:7 "Now as for you, son of man, I have appointed you a watchman for the house of Israel; so you will hear a message from My mouth and give them warning from Me. Ezek 33:8 "When I say to the wicked, 'O wicked man, you will surely die,' and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood I will require from your hand. Ezek 33:9 "But if you on your part warn a wicked man to turn from his way and he does not turn from his way, he will die in his iniquity, but you have delivered your life. (I don't know if I need to point this out to you, Tim, but did you notice that--and see the gospel preaching parallel, please--if the watchman does not sound the trumpet those who die, die in their own iniquity.) Peace, Lionstrong Peace, Lionstrong |
