Subject: Searching for the truth |
Bible Note: 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 |
