Greetings FytRobert! "And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds." Rev 20:12 Consider this verse in conjuction with Romans 5:13. Would we bold enought to trust the heart of God as He examines the faith of those who do not have His Law? Romans 1:19-20 is very explicit: men are without excuse as God HAS revealed Himself to us. Romans 5:13 declares that sin was already in the world prior to the giving of the Law - However, the first law is recorded in Gen 2. Note the consequence of disobedience in v.3! Therefore, although sin as revealed by the Law may not be charged to the account of man, he is still accountable to the law of God (who He is)as it has been revealed to him. Man has always had a choice, to accept and believe or to reject and reap the penalty of his choice. Remember the wrath of God is against sin. All men are sinners, therefore unless we have been creditited with the righteousness of God for our faith, we are still under the penalty of sin. mommapbs |

According to Jer. 31:31-34 and confirmed by Heb. 8:8-11, God has made a new covenant with His people saying that He will engrave His commandments upon everyone's heart, therefore all men will have a conviction of what is wrong from what is right though they may reject it. Therefore even if there is no written law we have the conviction of God's commandments upon our hearts and will be judge according to this conviction. | ||||||

Great observation! Thanks. So we have Divine revelation, the written Law and the inner conviciton of our hearts . . . hmmmm sounds like the testimony of 2 or 3 witnesses doesn't it? It seems to me that there are many who are all disturbed about the "justice" of God toward those who have never heard about Jesus . . .to me they are saying, "It's not fair!" Are we in dangerous territory to wonder if God will grant His Grace (impute His righteousness) on those who respond to Divine revelation, or inner conviction apart from the written Law? Yet, as one who has received mercy and Grace, I'm inclinded to leave the judging of the condition of another's soul in God's rightful Hands. I continue to trust His heart as well as His sovereignty in these things! Blessings on your day - mommapbs |
