Bible Question:
Romans 2:14-15 Can Gentiles that do not know Christ goto heaven? I have been looking for a commentary or sermon that covers this issue and can find nothing that goes into this. Most of the stuff i find goes around this verse and writes it off as an after thought, so i need an answer for my aethist work mate who believes that if they are a 'Good' person, then they are following the law their heart is leading them... any help would be appreciated. j |
Bible Answer: No one is good except God alone. Your workmate is NOT a good person. He is NOT following the Law. jultox: "my aethist work mate who believes that if they are a 'Good' person..." Scripture is its own best commentary. Let the Bible itself answer your question. You workmate is not a "good" person. None of us are. No one is good except God alone. None is righteous. All have sinned - ALL! Mark 10:18 (ESV) And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone. Romans 3:10-11 (ESV) as it is written: "None is righteous, no, not one; [11] no one understands; no one seeks for God. Romans 3:23 (ESV) for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, Your workmate is not following the law. Even if he were following the law, that would not save him. Romans 3:20 (ESV) For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin. AMPLIFIED Romans 3:20 For no person will be justified (made righteous, acquitted, and judged acceptable) in His sight by observing the works prescribed by the Law. For [the real function of] the Law is to make men recognize and be conscious of sin [not mere perception, but an acquaintance with sin which works toward repentance, faith, and holy character]. AMPLIFIED Romans 3:28 For we hold that a man is justified and made upright by faith independent of and distinctly apart from good deeds (works of the Law). [The observance of the Law has nothing to do with justification.] Grace to you, Radioman2 |
