The Eternal Destiny Of Those Who've Never Heard The Gospel Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021

Charles Spurgeon was once asked his opinion about those who had never heard of Jesus or the gospel. His response sting rings true today: “How can they be saved without ever hearing about Jesus? We should rather ask, how can we be saved if we do nothing to take the gospel to them?”

What is the fate of those who have never heard the gospel? What about the innocent person in a far-away land that has never heard of Jesus? Are they thrown into hell even if they haven’t heard of Jesus? Another way of asking this question is this: how does God deal with people who have different ...read more

During Elisha’s ministry, the Jordan River parted instantly, poisoned waters were healed, the borrowed iron ax head flowed to the surface, dead children had been raised to life, but the miracle Israel needed now would be difficult. This miracle will require a sustained effort.

What a great blessing Elisha had been to the nation of Israel. He faithfully used his God given double portion for the benefit of others. Israel was facing another persistent enemy, the Syrians. Prophet Elisha is on his death bed, over 80 years old in a weakened condition, yet God’s people are ...read more
