Bible Question: My husband and i are trying to find the answer to this question: If someone has never even heard of God and the plaln of salvation, will they go to Heaven or Hell when they die? Scripture please. Thanks! |
Bible Answer: Marnie, I believe scripture teaches that without hearing the gospel that there is no hope. This is because... 1. No man comes to the Father but through Christ. 2. Paul gives great care to show that all people, even those who have never heard of anything from the Judeo-Christian religious tradition are both inexcusable, and sinners. Take a careful look at the first three chapters of Romans for support for this. Paul claims natural revelation is sufficient to condemn but not to save. 3. In Romans chapter 10 Paul excludes the possibility of saving faith apart from hearing the word preached. It does not take hearing the message of the gospel to be a sinner guilty before God, however it does take the gospel to trust upon Christ and be forgiven. In Christ, Beja |
