An evangelist blogger writes, “ ‘What about those who have never heard about Jesus and the gospel?’ No matter where we go or what subject we speak on, this question always seems to come up. Many times it is asked as a way to relieve the individual asking of any personal responsibility to God.
“The Bible clearly reveals that no one has an
excuse (Romans 1:19–20). It is a fact that all of mankind can tell that a Creator
does exist, because His creation testifies to it. This testimony is universal.
“The Bible teaches that the unbelieving
individual is ‘holding the truth in unrighteousness’ (Romans 1:18). Moreover, the
Scriptures relate that man is not seeking after God, but actually running from
Him. ‘There is none that seeketh after God’ (Romans 3:11). Therefore, it is not
a case of God refusing to get His Word to someone who is desperately searching
for the truth.”

A
documentary produced by Moody traced some tribal regions in Africa that, when
Europeans came in contact with them in the 1700s and 1800s, they were in dark
savagery. Moody traced the lineage of some of these tribes into more ancient
times and discovered that the native people a thousand years before had light
and knowledge; they had associations with truth but they rejected it!
“What happens with light rejected is it becomes
lightning and so you don’t know where those people have been because you
haven’t been there,” explains Richard Jordan. “You aren’t God and you aren’t
accountable for them. But do you know how they got there? By holding the truth
(the truth God put within them) in unrighteousness.
“The Scripture’s real clear in Romans 2 that if
you walk in the light you have, no matter how dim the light is, it will give
you light.”
