I once heard a preacher say they did. But that statement can be very misleading unless I have insider knowledge about the Bible.
In the most profound doctrinal statement of Christianity, the writer of the biblical book of Romans says [every person] know[s] the truth about God because he (God) has made it obvious to them. For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.[1]
So in one sense any person living anywhere on the planet can find the road that leads to God. However, there is only one gate. All who want to get to God, must pass through the “gate” known as Jesus Christ the son of God who paid the entrance fee with his life on a cross.
So, what do you think? Next time you see an amazing sunrise or sunset, do you think you’ve seen the invisible qualities of and eternal God?
