Yep, my husband was back in the ER yesterday and was admitted into the hospital. I was having loads of fun. I picked up a New Testament Bible that had been placed in there by the Gideons, and opened it to Romans 1:19 and there was the perfect answer to those people who ask about God reaching the deepest darkest places of the world without missionaries, or anyone else telling them about the Gift of Salvation. They will be held accountable as Scripture states:
Romans 1:18-25
King James Version (KJV)
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness,
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and the Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew ighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
It slapped me in the face. I've read this, however it just apparently didn't compute. So when people you are witnessing to says, "What about the people......." here is the Scripture that backs it up. It added some sunshine to a rather gloomy day. Husband is much better and will be coming home either late this afternoon or tomorrow. PRAISE GOD!
