  3. He doesn’t change the facts. • God still is. Genesis 1:1, Psalm 19:1-2 • The Bible is still His word. 2 Tim. 3:16-17, 1 Timothy 5:18, 1 Thessalonians 2:13 • Jesus is still the only Savior. John 14:6, Acts 4:12 • Men must still obey the gospel to be saved. Romans 10:16, Mark 16:16, 2 Thess. 1:6-9

  4. He is not innocent. • Deuteronomy 9:4-5 • Romans 1:18-21

  5. He NEEDS the gospel. • Matthew 28:19, Mark 16:15 • Romans 3:23, Isaiah 59:1-2 • Acts 17:30, 2 Peter 3:9 If he is ok without the gospel, the worst thing we could do is preach it to him.

  6. He is not beyond the reach of God. • Acts 8:26-39, The Ethiopian Eunuch • Acts 10, Cornelius

  7. A modern example While Joshua Mahendranath was working in Kuwait, he determined to use his time away from his family to study for himself the truth of God’s word.  He signed up for many correspondence courses over the internet, and from them found that those courses he received from churches of Christ were different.  They were challenging and Bible based, and from them he learned the truth.

  8. A modern example He requested information regarding any Christians who might be in the area, that he might be baptized into Christ.  Marvin Dotson who now is a member at the Northside congregation in Mansfield, TX, was at that time employed as a pilot for the Royal family of Kuwait, and the two were able to meet.  Marvin was able to teach and baptize seven Indians (including Joshua) before returning to the states.

  9. A modern example After his time in Kuwait, Joshua returned to Bangalore, India, where his wife’s parents and brother live.  He and his wife Aruna continued to grow as Christians, spending a great deal of time corresponding with Bobby Holmes, who many know is the evangelist for the Northside congregation where brother Dotson attends.  Joshua and Bobby became very close, and when Joshua asked for him to come to India and help establish the church in the Bangalore area, Bobby could not refuse.  He asked me to accompany him, and the trip was planned.

  10. He is not beyond the reach of God. • Matthew 7:7-8 • Acts 17:26-27 • Matthew 28:20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

  11. What about the man who hasn’t heard? • An excuse for not obeying. • 2 Thessalonians 1:8 in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
