The Scripture is clear that nobody can have eternal life without believing in Jesus. But what about people who work really hard to do what is right? Or people who feel like they don't have the information or the ability to believe? Those excuses did not work for the nation of Israel, and they won't work for us either. In Romans 9-10, the apostle Paul explains that nobody has a legitimate excuse for unbelief. Everyone is held responsible to believe in Jesus for eternal life, and He is the only pathway to forgiveness of sins and a right standing before God.
