At birth, Jesus was already part of the religion of His parents and many generations before them. As He grew, Jesus remained faithful to Israel and never suggested that He would found another religion for the gentiles. Indeed, the reality in the Gospels is that there were few times Jesus even spoke with gentiles. The possibility of a gentile being saved by Jesus, outside of Jesus’ religion, is nonexistent. Like it or not, in His ministry, He was clear in saying that He came only for the lost sheep of the house of Israel. The gentile who wishes to be saved by Christ must follow the same laws that the Father gave to the nation chosen for His honor and glory, laws that Jesus Himself and His apostles followed. This is the plan of salvation that makes sense, because it is true. | “These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” Matthew 10:5–6
