What About People Who Have Never
Heard About Jesus?
People did not begin to spread out on the earth until
multiple languages were introduced at the time of the
tower of Babel. Noah lived almost to the time of Abraham,
so people could ask him about God. At the time of Moses,
Israel became God's witness to the other nations in the
world. After Jesus' resurrection, Christian believers of
Jewish descent were scattered around the world, some
groups even showing up in China. Islands like the Hawaiian
islands were not settled as early as some theorize. So
people were never far from a witness. We might think there
are many more Christians in the USA today than in China,
but if there was persecution in the USA, a lot of those
claiming to be Christians would not do so. Also, God knows
the future. He knows whether or not a person will believe
the gospel if he hears it. If anyone in the remotest part
of the world would be willing to believe, God would make
sure the gospel was sent to him.
