NASB | Proverbs 24:12 If you say, "See, we did not know this," Does He not consider it who weighs the hearts? And does He not know it who keeps your soul? And will He not render to man according to his work? |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Proverbs 24:12 If you [claim ignorance and] say, "See, we did not know this," Does He not consider it who weighs and examines the hearts and their motives? And does He not know it who guards your life and keeps your soul? And will He not repay [you and] every man according to his works? |
Subject: What about those who never hear gospel? |
Bible Note: Lets not leave out Acts 17:25, which states "nor is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything, since He Himself gives to all people life and breath and all things;" "All things"! Every thing that man has comes from the hand of God. This would include the desire to throw oneself upon the mecy of God by the righteousness of Christ. Peter tells us that saving faith comes from God. 2 Pet 1:1 Simon Peter, a bond-servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who have received a faith of the same kind as ours, by the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ:" God commands men everywhere to repent, but repentence is a gift that God grants to those He has chosen. Acts 5:31 "He is the one whom God exalted to His right hand as a Prince and a Savior, to grant repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. Acts 11:18 When they heard this, they quieted down and glorified God, saying, "Well then, God has granted to the Gentiles also the repentance that leads to life." Acts 11:18 When they heard this, they quieted down and glorified God, saying, "Well then, God has granted to the Gentiles also the repentance that leads to life." I really find it impossible to believe that God could fail at anything which He has decided to accomplish. The Bible shows that for God nothing is impossible. Yet people persist in saying that the stubborn nature of man defeats the power of God! John |
