What about people who never heard about Jesus?
The Bible says God has made Himself known through creation and conscience, that He judges fairly, and that He wants the message to reach everyone. Christians differ on the details; Scripture tells us to trust the Judge of all the earth.
Abraham asked, shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? The Bible says God reveals Himself through what He has made and through conscience, and that people will be judged by the light they had.
It also says salvation is found in no one but Jesus, which is why He sent His followers to every nation. If you have heard, the question for you is what you will do with Him.
25May it be far from you to do things like that, to kill the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous should be like the wicked. May that be far from you. Shouldn’t the Judge of all the earth do right?”
