HOW ABOUT THOSE WHO HAVE NOT HEARD ABOUT JESUS? BY Sola Adeyegbe

PARADISE

Jesus proclaimed the Truth! For this reason, the teachings of Christ at times accords with the truths in the religions already existing. Of course, Jesus did not take these truths out of them but, as He brought the Truth, this must necessarily contain all that was true in the other religions.
If a person does not know the words of Jesus personally but seriously strives for the Truth and to be a better human being, he will often live completely in harmony with the sense of these words and will attain to pure faith. Take the case of our forefathers (many of whom had not learnt about Jesus) and yet they will pay the right price for goods left on the roadside just because the seller has left a code or a sign that indicates the price of the items. These simple human beings strive not to harm their neighbours and they seek purity in their actions.
Jesus is Love and the ones who base their actions on love will act in ways that accord with the teachings of Christ no matter the religion they profess. People such as this will meet the Christ-Spirit here or in the beyond which will lead then to the recognition of God. This is in fulfilment of the proclamation: “No man cometh unto the Father but by me.”
