Jan 4, 2022 · Deuteronomy 4:29 proclaims, “But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul.” This verse teaches an important principle—everyone who truly seeks after God will find Him. If a person truly desires to know God, God will make Himself known. The problem is ...

Nov 12, 2024 · We must fully depend on Jesus, without Him we have nothing, but with Him we have everything. When you don’t have Christ you have no power over sin, Satan, and you don’t truly have life. The Lord is our strength, He directs our lives, and He is our deliverer. You need the Lord. Stop trying to live life without Him.

The biblical authors never speak softly about our sin. Paul does not hesitate to describe us as “dead in . . . sins” (Ephesians 2:1), nor does John to call us “blind” (1 John 2:11). In Jesus’s eyes, even the most generous among us are nevertheless “evil” (Luke 11:13). We should not flinch, then, to apply to our pre-Christian selves the infamous lab...
Total depravity becomes a more difficult doctrinal pill to swallow when we consider some of its implications. For example: in our fallen state, we cannot submit to God (Romans 8:7), we cannot please God (Romans 8:8; Hebrews 11:6), and most striking of all, we cannot do good (John 15:5; Romans 14:23). “No one does good,” Paul tells us — “not even on...
In ourselves, we are totally depraved; in God’s sight, we are wholly displeasing. Those two facts, taken together, lead us to a third: without Christ, we are hopelessly condemned. The judgment, in fact, has already begun. Paul writes, “The wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men” (Romans 1:18). Is rev...
The portrait of humanity under sin is a bleak one — so bleak that many would prefer to forget it altogether. Yet we do so at the cost of our deepest comfort. When those in Christ heed Paul’s command to remember, and allow our sin to overshadow us, we arrive at a place we do not expect: not outside of Eden, with cherubim guarding the entrance; not b...
Aug 1, 2021 · The problem is not that people do not have evidence for God; the problem is that people’s hearts are evil (Mk 7:21–23; Jn 2:24–25), and so by nature, they prefer to stay in the darkness, rather than follow where the evidence naturally leads, which is the light of Christ (Jn 3:19–20).
May 17, 2012 · All people “know God,” even if they have never heard the Bible. “What can be known about God is plain to them” (Romans 1:19). “Although they knew God . . . ” (Romans 1:21). The way they know God is by the way God has made the world and their own consciences (Romans 1:19–20).
Sep 7, 2016 · They are redeemed by the person and work of a Christ they don’t consciously embrace. Simply put, Jesus may save some who never hear of him. Inclusivists often cite Romans 2:1–16, a passage taken to imply that salvation is possible apart from God’s special revelation.

The question of what happens to those who have never heard of Christ is an interesting one to explore, but the more important question is, what will you do with the information about Jesus that you have? As C. S. Lewis said, "If you are worried about the people outside [of faith in Christ], the most unreasonable thing you can do is to remain ...
