Some people have tried to exhalt pagans into heaven. Well, Gandhi was perhaps the best among the pagans. He brought peace and non-violence. He did not kill, steal, or murder. Yet, I shall not exhalt this man as being perfect. Gandhi had a few faults.

It is true that He was good among men but he turned the truth of God clearly displayed in creation into an idol. He served creature rather than God. His acts did not glorify God. They were apart from God. Read Romans one. Believing to be wise, Gandhi was a fool. He even supported Hitler in Germany. So much so that he wished India to have a dictactor.

Gandi did hear the Christian Gospel but he rejected it. He was a man born under original sin. He was not perfect when God asks for such in his judgment. God lives in unapproachable light. That is why Christ is necessary even for a saint with many works, like Mother Teresa, to be in heaven. Christ must step in to supply grace to bridge this gap since no man but Christ is perfect. This grace isn't meeting the bar but rather shows us how much higher it is, only to take us another route. Christ does so only in this life. Gandhi is dead and without grace. It is better to be a living dog than a dead lion. There is hope when someone is still alive.

Gandhi lacked grace from all external appearances. It remains up to God to judge but it stands on this evidence that he is in hell. It is a place that every man deserves but not every man goes. Grace exists apart from doing some good works. Mercy does too. Man is still guilty for not being in the right relationship with God regardless of works. Christ, as only God could, must take the punishment ment for us. Otherwise, the wrath of God remains. Gandhi was outside of Christ. He was found outside of the church, which alone has salvation.

Let's pretend the standard for judgment was set by him, a man. Will you be as good as the pagan Gandhi in this life? I doubt it. Now if he is stuck frying curry in hell, what chance do you have with much fewer works for getting into heaven outside of christ?

Let us remember that we all need Christ without exception.
