If the doctrine of “unmerited favor” came from the Father, when the rich young man asked Jesus what he should do to be saved, Jesus would have said that nothing could be done, for trying anything would be seeking to earn salvation, which would result in condemnation. However, Jesus did not give this absurd answer. Instead, He said that the young man needed to do three physical things: obey God’s Law, detach from wealth, and follow Him. The idea that the Gentile does not need to obey God’s laws to be saved finds no support either in the Old Testament or in the words of Jesus. Do not follow the majority just because they are many. Obey while you are alive. | “My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God [Old Testament] and do it.” Luke 8:21
