North Korea

[wayward_thought]

What happens to residents of North Korea who either 1. Don't receive the word of God or 2. Are afraid to learn more about the holy sacrifice Jesus made. I watch documentaries on North Korea and worry that these residents will not make it to heaven because their nation won't allow them to.

Good question, Keith. Scripture is clear that those who HEAR the gospel and choose to receive salvation are heaven bound. As to the fate of those who die without hearing the gospel, I lean heavily upon this scripture: "...without faith (that there is a Creator God) it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who diligently seek Him." (Heb 11:6)

I don't quite understand how that scripture answers my question.

"For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:" Rom 2:14

Huh? What does the WORD say of anybody who will not recieve what JESUS did for them? Salvation or eternal darkness....you choose! "Therefore, choose LIFE"
