When Jesus said that everyone who believes in Him will be saved, He was speaking to Nicodemus, a Jewish leader. Like many Jews at the time of Jesus, Nicodemus strictly followed the laws of Israel, but he lacked the acceptance that Jesus was the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world, thus fulfilling the two divine requirements for salvation: to believe and to obey. For today’s Gentiles, the opposite occurs. They accept the authority of Christ but refuse to obey the laws of God revealed to the prophets in the Old Testament. The Father does not send the disobedient to the Son. Salvation is individual. Do not follow the majority just because they are many. Obey while you are alive. | The Gentile who joins the Lord to serve Him, thus being His servant… and who holds fast to My covenant, I will also bring them to My holy mountain. (Isaiah 56:6-7)
