Subject: What about those who have never heard? |
Bible Note: Hank. What are you doing up this late at night? I'm at work, what's your excuse? I agree whole heartedly that Jesus is the only way. What I see there is that if man will acknowledge God without the knowledge of the gospel, God will obligate Himself to that man to get the gospel to him. There will never be another way to get to God, but some don't know the way. God is not willing that any should perish, and will do whatever it takes to get the gospel to them. Sometime that first step of faith on man's part may be as simple as saying, "You know, this world didn't just happen." I believe if we are faithful to the light (knowledge) we have, God will give us more, and lead us to repentance unto salvation if we will follow. Thanks for you input. wdc |
