The expression “unmerited favor” does not exist in the Scriptures; it is a theological jargon invented after Jesus’ ascension, with the intent to separate the Gentiles from Israel and create a new religion, with new doctrines and traditions, and to exclude the need to obey God’s laws for salvation. This concept has no support in the Old Testament nor in the words of Jesus in the Gospels. To claim that humans cannot contribute to their salvation encourages sin and suggests that God seeks to save the disobedient, which is why many Gentiles cling to this false doctrine. What Jesus really taught is that it is the Father who sends us to the Son, and the Father only sends those who follow the laws given to the nation He set apart for Himself with a perpetual covenant. | The foreigner who joins himself to the Lord, to minister to him, and to be his servant… and holds fast my covenant, I will bring to my holy mountain. (Isaiah 56:6-7)
