Notes on spiritual accountability

In Luke 12:48 Jesus tells us;

"For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required

For instance in Matthew 10:15 when Jesus sent his disciples out into the cities of the Jews he gave those cities more than any other people up to that time. Since more is given then, for example, was given to Sodom and Gomorrha then he will hold those cites who reject the message of his disciples to a tougher standard.

Any who reject Christ will be held to a higher standard than those who never knew him.
