Question #53
How can those who have never heard the gospel be saved?
My daughter asked me how people who never hear God’s word or know the truth get saved. She wanted to know how they could not go to heaven if they don’t know about God. Her example was people in the jungle or rain forest or places on earth where they never have been exposed to the Bible or God. What about them? I didn’t know how to answer that. Can you help me answer her question?
The Answer:
Their only hope is for those who have been saved to obey the Great Commission and carry the gospel into all of the world, including the rain forests. For a fuller answer, please see the response to Question 48.
