Bible Question:
I came upon these verses in my study: 2:12 All who have sinned apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law. 2:13 For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous in God's sight, but the doers of the law who will be justified. 2:14 When Gentiles, who do not possess the law, do instinctively what the law requires, these, though not having the law, are a law to themselves. 2:15 They show that what the law requires is written on their hearts, to which their own conscience also bears witness; and their conflicting thoughts will accuse or perhaps excuse them 2:16 on the day when, according to my gospel, God, through Jesus Christ, will judge the secret thoughts of all. In light of these scriptures; is it reasonable to conclude that it is not absolutely neccesary for the great commission to be fullfilled before Christ's return? Would these verses imply that people will be judged according to the measure of truth they have received? |
Bible Answer: formereverything, Yes, your conclusion is on track. Verse 12 more fully explains the thought presented in the previous verses, that God is not a respecter of persons. Whether the Gentiles, who are not under the law, have sinned or the Jews, who are under the law, have sinned, the consequences are the same, both are condemned unto death (6:23). I hope this helps, Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
