What About People Who Have Not Heard The Gospel?
Scripture Reading: Romans 1:18-23
Focus
Verse: Romans 1:20 “For ever since the world was created, people have
seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly
see His invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature. So
they have no excuse for not knowing God.”
As
we know from reading the Bible that God will hold us accountable for
what we know of Him. Does this mean that someone who has not heard the
Gospel will go to heaven? No. All of us were born with a soul. And
until we know God there is an emptiness that exists within us until we
know Him. I believe that someone that is truly seeking God, God will
reveal Himself to them. God may send you to that person.
There
is a story in Acts 10 of a man named Cornelius. He was a religious man
who prayed to God, but he did not know God’s plan of salvation. God
sent the apostle Peter to share the message of salvation to him, and he
accepted salvation.
But
sadly there are many who hear the Gospel message and do not respond by
accepting salvation. God will make Himself known to those who truly
want to know Him. But to those who want to reject God in their lives
that is a choice they are allowed to make. And one day they will have
to pay for their own sins separated from God for all eternity in a place
called hell. If you have never trusted Christ for your salvation, do
that today through repentance of your sins, and faith in what God has
done for you through Jesus' death on the cross. You have heard the
message of the Gospel, now what will you do about it?
