Based on the doctrine of “unmerited favor,” many in the church think: ”No one deserves to be saved, so I won’t even try to obey God’s commandments; I’ll keep ignoring His laws.” However, the reality is that Jesus never taught such nonsense. People love to use this phrase because it conveys an image of humility, but deep down, they do not want to follow the narrow path that leads to eternal life. They may deceive others, but they do not deceive God, who searches the hearts. The gentile who wishes to be saved by Christ must follow the same laws that the Father gave to the chosen nation for His honor and glory. The Father sees the faith and courage of this gentile, despite the difficulties. He pours out His love on him, unites him with Israel, and leads him to the Son for forgiveness and salvation. | “No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.” John 6:44
