Will Gentiles be able to tell God at the great white throne that they never had a chance?

Gentiles will not be able to say at the great white throne that they never had a chance. Every Gentile has an opportunity to hear the Gospel and be saved, having rested on the root and fatness of Abraham, and God will hold them responsible if they refused it.

Les explains that the Gentile world now occupies the same place of privilege and blessing Israel had in the Old Testament. Just as not every Jew was a believer simply because Israel rested on Abraham, not every Gentile will be saved. But every Gentile has an opportunity to hear the Gospel. At the great white throne, the lost Gentile will not be able to say, “I never had a chance.” God will say, “Oh yes you did. You rested on the root and fatness of Abraham. You had just as much opportunity as the covenant people, but you didn’t take it; you refused it.” Les stresses that Christ died for all sins, and every human being has been declared reconciled and pardoned so far as God is concerned, but it is all for nothing until they appropriate it by the kind of simple faith Abraham had. God does not require someone to know the Bible cover to cover or be a primary example of holy living before He can save.
