Does every person receive light from God, and are they held responsible for it?
Yes, every human being born into the world receives the light God gives, and consequently each person is held responsible for that light. The Word is near every human being, placed in their mouth, but many refuse to step into the light because it exposes their true condition.
Les explains that no human being has ever come into life on this planet without having the light God has given, and consequently they will be held responsible. He points to Romans 10:8, where Paul says the word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth. This is not a casual statement; the Word is nigh every human being and available for the taking. Les notes that people refuse to step into the light because it reveals what they are really made of, and they do not want to see or hear. They reject the light to their own doom, even though Christ tasted death for every man, as Paul says in II Corinthians 5.
