Romans 10: 13 Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 14 (But) how … shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 … How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! 16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel... 18 But I say, Have they not heard?

In the light of Romans 10:13-16, 18, should we surmise that all have indeed heard the gospel of Christ? Or shall we rather interpret Matthew 24:14 to mean that not all have had a chance to hear the gospel of Christ as yet, insofar as the spoken gospel has not yet permeated every nation of the earth?

Romans 10:18 suggests that they have heard enough to be accountable to God. God has spoken through nature (Psalm 19:1-4) and through their conscience, the law written in their hearts (Romans 2:15). They do need to hear that Christ died for their sins, and that they need to repent and trust in him (I Corinthians 15:3,4;Acts 20:21). If they never hear that Christ died for their sins, it does not take away the fact that he did. They can repent and turn to God anyway, based on what they do know. The coming of the Gospel will reveal those who have done that or who want to do that. When they have heard the gospel, they will be responsible not only to accept it themselves, but also, as we are, to pass it on to others (1 Corinthians 4:1,2; 2 Timothy 2:2). “For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more (Luke 12:48). |
