Hell was not intended for man but the devil and his angels. Matt. 25:41.
God does not "send" people to hell- they chose hell. John 3:19.
God gives every person a chance to know God and a chance to be saved if they want it.
"If I be lifted up (lifted up on the cross and die for man's sins, He did that) from the earth, will draw ALL MEN unto me." Every lost person, every "heathen" has been and all will be in the future, DRAWN by God to Himself. In every man is a God given vacuum that can only be filled by God.
He draws by creation. Romans 1:18 ff. That which may be known by the heathen is
1. manifest in them.
2. God hath shewed it unto them
3. they are clearly seen
3. so that they are without excuse.
God draws by conscience, Romans 2:11-15 especially Vs 15. John 8:9
God draws (convicts) by the commandments Romans 3 the law is our school master to bring us to Christ Gal 3:24.
Christ lighteth EVERY man John 1:9, He gives them a chance through one of the above means.
John 7:17, if a man responds to what ever "light" he has, he shall know the teaching (doctrine) from God.
It isn't that man has no chance, it is that he "will not come to me that he might have life." John 5:40.
God is longsuffering, God is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance 2 Peter 3:9.
John 5:44-47 and Luke 16:27-31 are strong clinchers for the heathen and the Jew.
"If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rose from the dead."
Of the heathen it can be said, "If they believe not and receive not the truth they are told from creation, neither would they believe if they heard the gospel.
NEVER has a missionary found ONE person who was already saved before they heard the gospel. Many missionaries have gone to some who have never heard the gospel and found they had concluded from creation or conscience that their was a true God and were wanting to know Him and God sent a missionary to them to give them the gospel.
