1 | The Gospel the sole means of salvation? | Rom 1:16 | meusing | 39403 | ||
Meusing here, Before Christ God chose Abraham and the Children of Israel to show His name to all men. In Christ he has given the world the church, or rather He has given the Church the world. It is our resposibility that the world HAS the oportunity to hear the Gospel. Think, it was His will that Ninevah (a heathen city) be saved, so he sent Jonah to preach repentance. It was upon Jonah's obedience in preaching repentance that the people of Ninivah repented and God was able to spare them. God uses us to bear the good news. there is life and salvation in no other than Jesus. It is an awsome responsibility, so we should figure out how we are going to present Christ to the lost rather than try to figgure out how God can save them without our obediance. just my meusings. |

2 | The Gospel the sole means of salvation? | Rom 1:16 | John Reformed | 39417 | ||
Dear Meusing, In modern times I believe it is possible for most people on earth to hear the Gospel. But what about the millions of people that it was impossible for the church to reach in times past? Had God made a seperate provision for them? You mention Jonah as an example. God sent Jonah to Ninevah. Jonah did everything he could to avoid going. But Jonah could not escape from God's will. He eventualy (against his own desire) was forced to obey God. Could God have not sent "Jonahs" all over the world 2000 years ago if it pleased Him to do so? Do you begin to see where I am going with this line of questioning? John |
