Bible Note: Dear EdB: This is essentially a thank you note to you. You have been really kind in informing of all this. I believe it was no accident that I happened to see this site at just the time that I did, so the Lord would use all of you to clarify His Word to me on issues that have boggled me for a long time. I don't know if you can see yet why I am concerned for the unreached. You see, I come from a Hindu background and as such have a whole load of relatives (grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc.) that died even before the Lord ever revealed Himself to me. That happened a little more than seven years ago, and I am still the only one saved in my household. I am sure that many of the relatives who I'm concerned about never heard the gospel. Rom 2:12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; Rom 2:13 (For not the hearers of the law [are] just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. Rom 2:14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: Rom 2:15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and [their] thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;) The above, as I understand, is a reference to people who lived without knowing the Lord. This says that they will be judged on the basis of the way they lived their lives, I hope. Do want to be sure that I will indeed meet them someday and that they are not eternally lost. |
