What happens to someone who never hears the Gospel? It is one of the most difficult questions Christians are asked—and one that can stir strong emotions and differing opinions even within the church. Study Guide: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/1sysdkccgkb7ozi8ym7rz/Study-Guide-Chasing-Assurance-65.pdf?rlkey=hm50tfow50klntdvjtlgkpiat&dl=0 In Season 2, Episode 13 of Chasing Assurance, Terry Peer and Dr. Terry L. Peer begin a new series tackling tough, listener-submitted questions by asking a simple but important question: What does the Bible actually say? Rather than beginning with emotion, tradition, or our own sense of fairness, Dr. Peer walks through Scripture to examine what the Bible teaches about God, salvation, judgment, and those who have never heard the Gospel. The discussion begins with an essential truth: God loves the entire world. His desire is that people come to repentance and salvation. But Scripture also describes God as holy and just, and Jesus makes an unmistakably strong statement in John 14:6: So what does that mean for someone living in a place where there is no church, missionary, or readily available Christian influence? This episode examines passages including: • John 3:16 • John 14:6 • Romans 1:16–20 • Romans 2 • Romans 3:10 & 3:23 • John 1 • 2 Thessalonians 1:8–10 Romans teaches that creation itself reveals something about the existence, nature, and power of God. Scripture also speaks about conscience and the knowledge of right and wrong written on the human heart. The question isn't simply whether someone has possessed a Bible. The deeper question is why every person needs a Savior—and why the Gospel of Jesus Christ matters to the entire world. This is Part 1 of our discussion. We will continue the question in the next episode. LESTER'S FEET FOUNDATION This week, Terry shares the story of a family Lester's Feet Foundation recently connected with. A young boy named Zion has been diagnosed with a brain tumor. His mother is raising four children after losing her husband to a brain tumor last year. As Zion's family determines the best course of treatment, Lester's Feet is coming alongside them to help remove some of the financial burdens that can accompany a medical crisis—including lost income, travel, temporary housing, and other needs that may arise while seeking the best possible care. Most importantly, we're asking the Chasing Assurance family to pray for Zion, his mother, his siblings, his doctors, and everyone involved in his treatment. Thank you to everyone who supports Lester's Feet and makes it possible for us to step into the lives of families during incredibly difficult seasons. SCRIPTURE OF THE WEEK 2 Thessalonians 1:7–10 This passage reminds us of both the seriousness of judgment and the urgency of sharing the Gospel. As Dr. Peer explains in this episode, recognizing how deeply God loves the world should motivate Christians to make the message of Jesus known.
