Is every human being acceptable to God for their sin, even if they have not heard the gospel? What about unreached tribes, remote communities, people who have grown up in muslim or Hindu nations? In this episode Brandon and Sam discuss from the book of Romans how all people are accountable to God because of what is known as 'general revelation'. Discover how God has revealed wonderful mysteries about who he is within the created order and how he has uniquely designed your life that you might know him.
