What about all the people who’ve never even heard of Jesus?

Romans 10:13-15 NLT

For “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them? And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, “How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!”

God promises that all humanity
has the opportunity to receive Him!

God loves everyone

1 John 4:10 NLT

This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.

God desires all men to be saved

2 Peter 3:9 CEV

The Lord isn’t slow about keeping his promises, as some people think he is. In fact, God is patient, because he wants everyone to turn from sin and no one to be lost.

God is merciful

Romans 1:19-20 NLT

They know the truth about God because he has made it obvious to them. 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.

God judges people as individuals

Romans 2:6 NCV

God will reward or punish every person for what that person has done.

God has a plan

Acts 17:26-28 CEV

From one person God made all nations who live on earth, and he decided when and where every nation would be. God has done all this, so that we will look for him and reach out and find him. He isn’t far from any of us, and he gives us the power to live, to move, and to be who we are. “We are his children,” just as some of your poets have said.

Mark 8:29 NIV

“But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”
