What about those who never heard of Jesus?

[Episkopos]

What does it mean that Jesus is the Saviour of the whole world ESPECIALLY those that believe? By what standard will God judge the world? And what of the church?

Thank you for your post and great message.

You might get some grief for saying that people of the world who don’t know Jesus will be judged by their works, but I agree.

Consider also Romans 2: 14,15. The Apostle found gentiles who practiced Love Thy Neighbor (although they might have used different language), which no doubt made their conversion to Christianity easier. Indeed, there are cultures throughout the world that believe that people should live harmoniously with one another, take care of one another, support lifelong, faithful, marriages, etc., which are the major characteristics of Love Thy Neighbor. That God should judge on that basis alone makes sense.

Question: what does it mean for God to judge the church? Church leadership perhaps?

Blessings.

People all over the middle east and Asia are now getting "Jesus dreams". Its common for people to seek Jesus from these dreams right now. I imagine every place in the world are getting them.

Thank you for your reply. I cover the harder judgment for the church in the video.

The church is to be judged against holiness (loving God with all we have and are AND loving others)

The world is to be judged against righteousness (loving one's neighbour as oneself)
