There are all kinds of reasons that the furnace won't fire up. The easiest to trouble shoot are a clogged burner tube or orifice. Also check for loose wire connections on the control board. There should be a gas safety valve in there. It can go bad or the control board that opens it can go bad. A bad sail switch can cause problems, too.

We have had it for 5 months or so and this is the first time we have used it ,would it go bad just sitting there?

Unlikely, but that is plenty of time for spiders to nest in the tubes and create an obstruction.

Did the gas stove still work? That'll narrow down where the problem lies.
