Biblical Answer

The Bible teaches us that God is just and righteous in all His dealings with humanity. But what about people who never heard of Jesus? Does God judge them based on their lack of knowledge? The Bible says no. In Romans 1:20, it says that God's invisible qualities are clearly seen in His creation, and that people are without excuse for not believing in God. This is called general revelation. General revelation is the idea that God has revealed Himself to all people through the natural world and through their conscience. This means that people who have never heard of Jesus can still be held accountable for their actions and their lack of faith in God.

The Bible also teaches that God's plan of salvation is not limited to just those who have heard the gospel. In Romans 2:14-15, it says that Gentiles (non-Jews) who do not have the law (the Old Testament) will do by nature the things contained in the law, indicating that they have a natural knowledge of God's law. This means that people who have never heard of Jesus can still be held accountable for their actions and their lack of faith in God, even if they have never heard the gospel. The Bible teaches that God's judgment is not based on whether or not someone has heard the gospel, but on whether or not they have responded to God's general revelation.

The Bible teaches that God's plan of salvation is not limited to just those who have heard the gospel, but it also teaches that the gospel has a universal impact. In Romans 10:18, it says that the gospel has reached even to the ends of the earth, and that it has made a difference to people who lived before Christ as well as to people who lived after Him. This means that the gospel is not just limited to those who have heard it, but it also has a universal impact on all of humanity. The Bible teaches that God's judgment is not based on whether or not someone has heard the gospel, but on whether or not they have responded to God's general revelation and the universal impact of the gospel.
