What About Those Who Have Never Heard?


What about the people who have never heard of Jesus or even seen a Bible? That is just like our question about where did God come from?

In Genesis 4:29 the Word of God says, "And men began to call upon the name of the Lord." How can that be? That was before the Bible, before there were any churches, or synagogues, before radio, TV, CDs DVDs or as far as we know teachers or preachers of any kind!

Our answer begins in the book of Psalms chapter 19:1-3 where we read: "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard."

WHAT IF YOU ARE BLIND AND HAVE NEVER SEEN THE BEAUTY AND THE MAJESTY OF GOD'S CREATION?

In Eccl. 3:11 King Solomon said: "He has made everything appropriate in its time. He has also set eternity in their heart, yet so that man will not find out the work which God has done from the beginning even to the end."

And in Romans 2:15 we read: "The law is written on every man's heart." Here God reveals that the concept of eternal life after death and moral accountability for how we lived is written in the genetic code of every man's heart. Romans 2:15 is referring to the moral law of the Ten Commandments.

The fact is, whether they will admit it or not, every man knows in his heart it is wrong to murder, to commit adultery, to steal and lie. It is written on every mans heart just as sure as geese fly south in the winter and Salmon swim upstream to spawn. God put a moral compass in the heart of every man called conscience.

Therefore, Romans 1:18-20 says, "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse."

God is saying in essence, all an honest, thinking person has to do is look and meditate on the sun, the moon, the stars, and the wonders of creation to know that anything so perfectly designed, so complex, and so well balanced as is our world and our universe could in no way have made itself!
