Systematic Theology II
Chapter 15
“The Results of
Salvation
(Infants and Heathen)”
pp. 430-469
Salvation includes three spectacular

General revelation declares that there is a Creator, a God, but it does not
reveal the plan of salvation, which is why evangelism and missions is so
important.
The argument that it is unjust or unloving of God to judge those who have
never heard the gospel is an argument made from a faulty premise,
namely, that somehow people merit grace. Grace by definition, is
unmerited. It is grace that anyone hears and believes. The justice is that
everyone goes to hell, because all have sinned and come short of the glory
of God. Grace and mercy is revealed in those who hear and believe.
