God directed the lineage of Adam’s son, named Seth, until it reached Abraham. After testing and approving Abraham, God set him apart, along with his descendants and the gentiles of his household, and made an eternal covenant of fidelity with them, sealed with circumcision. Throughout history, God made it clear that this would be the plan of salvation for both Jews and gentiles: they should follow His laws to be part of His people and would need the sacrifice for the forgiveness of sins. Jesus never suggested that this process was changed. As gentiles, our salvation comes from following the same laws that the Father gave to the chosen nation for His honor and glory. The Father observes our faith and courage, unites us with Israel, and leads us to Jesus. | The gentile who joins himself to the Lord, to serve Him, and thus becomes His servant… and keeps My covenant, I will also bring them to My holy mountain. (Isaiah 56:6-7)
