Piper on “What Happens to Those Who Have Never Heard the Gospel?”

On August 18, 2006, Desiring God Radio and John Piper addressed the topic, “What Happens to Those Who Have Never Heard the Gospel?”
As the website states,

The issue of what happens to those who have never heard about Jesus Christ is a question many people ask. As R.C. Sproul has noted, sometimes the question is phrased this way: “What happens to the innocent person in the middle of Africa who has never heard about Jesus Christ?” Fortunately, as Sproul points out, the innocent person has nothing to fear. The problem is that there are no innocent people–anywhere.

Note: Though many if not most all of you agree with Dr. Piper, there are those in the “wider hope” camp who argue for post-mortem encounter, eschatological evangelization, anonymous Christians, pre-messianic believers, and holy pagans–all “saved” outside of the knowledge of Christ, outside the Church, and apart from gospel mission. Therefore, it is incredibly important to have the biblical account presented as Dr. Piper has. Let us, as he concluded, labor to take the gospel of Jesus Christ to every tongue, every tribe, and every people, for His fame and the glory of His name!
