Biblical Answer

What about people who never heard of Jesus?

The Bible teaches that God is just and fair. He doesn't judge people based on whether they've heard of Jesus or not. In fact, the Bible says that God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). This means that God wants everyone to have the opportunity to believe in Jesus and receive salvation.

But what about people who have never heard of Jesus? The Bible says that the preaching of the gospel is what makes people aware of Jesus. It's like the Bible says, "How are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? What is heard comes by the preaching of Christ" (Romans 10:14-15). This means that God's general revelation in nature and conscience is not enough for people to know about Jesus. They need to hear the gospel to have a chance to believe.

The good news is that God is not going to judge people based on whether they've heard of Jesus or not. The Bible says that people who have never heard of Jesus will be judged based on whether they responded to God's general revelation in nature and conscience. If they didn't respond to that, then they won't be judged based on their lack of knowledge about Jesus. Instead, they will be judged based on whether they responded to God's general revelation. This is a fair and just way for God to judge people, and it gives everyone an opportunity to believe in Jesus and receive salvation.
