Bible Question:
Hello, I wanted to get my mind straight and understand that if we have eternal life because of believing in Christ and are under a blood covering how can people who have never heard the good news have eternal life? I know that their conscience of how much knowledge they have of God will be their judgement then why have the death of Christ at all ? thank you Gina Marie r-j-cody@msn.com |
Bible Answer: Dear Gina, When God effectually calls a person to salvation that person will be made regenerate and exhibit the gifts of faith and repentance. Faith and repentance are twin components of conversion. In order to have faith one must have a certain amount of minimal knowledge. One must recognize that Christ can provide what they need in order to escape sin and its consequences. The Scriptures do not exhaustively quantify this knowledge. Christ, alone, does the saving, by a faith that is alone thorugh grace that is alone. In Him, Doc |
