WHAT ABOUT THOSE WHO DIE HAVING NEVER HEARD THE GOSPEL?
Romans 1:18-20
Morning Meditation 12/12/2013
"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men,
who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in
them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the
world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and
Godhead; so that they are without excuse:"
This is an age old question. There are many who have given logical answers that make good
sense. However there are three boundaries that we must not cross in answering this. First, is the
boundary of God’s wrath. Romans 1:18, "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all
ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;" God had stated His
wrath against all mankind. Rom. 3:23 says, “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of
God.” The bloodhounds of God’s wrath are nipping at the heels of all the unsaved and He will not
call off the dogs. If we tell a man that he will not have to face God’s wrath because he never heard
the gospel, we will put ourselves in opposition to the Word of God.
The second great boundary is that God has declared that man is without excuse. Romans 1:20, "For
the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the
things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:" If God
says he is without excuse, we would be doing violence to the Scriptures if we claim that he did have
an excuse, that excuse being, he never heard the gospel. Many thinks because those who die without
hearing the gospel will have another chance. He will not have another chance.
The invisible things are clearly seen by the things that are seen. Inspiration goes so far as to say that,
“His eternal power and Godhead,” are evident in God’s revelation of Himself to man. The
conclusion is that “they are without excuse.” This means they are completely responsible. Let me
state it again. Man is responsible to God for his sins and will suffer the wrath of God if he never
hears the gospel. Many cannot accept this. Their point is that God would not be fair to let a man go
to hell without a chance.
1. First of all he has a chance. Reread Romans one. While a man cannot be saved without the
gospel, he can and does know there is a Creator and that in his breast he knows he is responsible
and accountable for his sins.
2. Second, the truth of inward revelation. Romans 1:19, "Because that which may be known of
God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them." The first step in salvation is to
know there is a God and that we are accountable to Him for our sins. God has revealed Himself
to the conscience. A missionary who goes to the field will find that God beat him there. He has
already worked in the conscience of the unsaved. Some will respond and some won’t.
Now these things are not enough to save a man but they are enough to make a man consider the
truth declared in these verses. The man who wants to be saved after having God reveal Himself
in the conscience, God will send a missionary or a Christian with a testimony of the grace of God
to him. He gives the one the gospel and in most cases he w
