What does the Bible say about non believer?
Bible Topic · WEB
The Bible teaches that those who do not believe in Christ remain in sin and face God’s judgment, yet Christians are called to speak the truth with compassion, pray for them, and point them to the gospel of saving grace. John 6:47-50 declares that whoever believes in Jesus has eternal life, while Galatians 5:19-21 warns that unrepentant works of the flesh exclude people from God’s kingdom. Ezekiel 33:9 shows the duty to warn others faithfully, though each person is responsible before God. Jude 1:22 urges mercy toward doubters, and James 5:16 commends prayer. Second Corinthians 6:14 calls believers to avoid binding partnerships that compromise faith, while still loving neighbors and bearing witness to Christ.
