In meetings with the rabbis, Jesus was clear in stating that much of what they taught was not what God had instructed Israel through the prophets of the Old Testament. They had created their own doctrines and traditions and, besides the Scriptures, declared other writings as sacred. The true Israel, set apart by God as His people, consists of Jews and Gentiles who remain steadfast in the covenant with Abraham, sealed by circumcision. It was to this Israel that the Father sent His Son as a sacrifice for sins. Any Gentile can join the Israel of God, be sent to Jesus by the Father, and achieve salvation, but to do so, they will need to follow the laws that God gave to Israel, the same laws that Jesus and His apostles obeyed. | The Gentile who joins himself to the Lord, to serve Him, being thus His servant… and who holds fast to My covenant, I will also bring to My holy mountain. (Isaiah 56:6-7)
