When Jesus said that He did not come to destroy but to fulfill the Law of God, He made it clear that, contrary to what some imagined about the Messiah, even He would fulfill the laws of God, like all Jews. However, the promoters of the doctrine of “unmerited favor” like to attribute words to Christ that He never said, suggesting in their teachings that He would fulfill the laws of the Father in place of the gentiles, exempting them from the commandments of God in the Old Testament. Jesus never taught anything so absurd. What Jesus taught is that no one comes to the Son unless the Father sends them, but the Father does not send declared disobedient ones to Jesus; He sends those who seek to follow His laws, given to Israel, laws that Jesus Himself and His apostles followed. | The foreigner who joins himself to the Lord, to serve him, thus becoming his servant… and who holds fast to my covenant, I will also bring him to my holy mountain. (Isaiah 56:6-7)
