Bible Question: Two fold question. People that die without ever knowing of Jesus or God, will they have any chance at redemption? And unbelievers that died have no chance at redemption during the tribulation. Or is a second chance at that time not really foretold? |
Bible Answer: Hi Johnycan. Perhaps the following verses will be of help. Rom 2:6 who "will render to each one according to his deeds":* Rom 2:7 eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality; Rom 2:11 For there is no partiality with God. Rom 2:12 For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without law, and as many as have sinned in the law will be judged by the law Rom 2:13 (for not the hearers of the law are just in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be justified; Rom 2:14 for when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do the things in the law, these, although not having the law, are a law to themselves, Rom 2:15 who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or else excusing them) 2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us,* not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. Eze 18:32 "For I have no pleasure in the death of one who dies," says the Lord GOD. "Therefore turn and live!" Eze 33:11 "Say to them: 'As I live,' says the Lord GOD, 'I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn, turn from your evil ways! For why should you die, O house of Israel?' Eze 18:21 "But if a wicked man turns from all his sins which he has committed, keeps all My statutes, and does what is lawful and right, he shall surely live; he shall not die. Eze 18:22 "None of the transgressions which he has committed shall be remembered against him; because of the righteousness which he has done, he shall live. Eze 18:23 "Do I have any pleasure at all that the wicked should die?" says the Lord GOD, "and not that he should turn from his ways and live? May the Lord bless you, and keep you safe. Edwin.
