The only spokesperson who came directly from the Father was the Son. Jesus clearly stated that everything He spoke came from the Father. His words must be our filter for all doctrines concerning salvation. Any doctrine that arose after Jesus’ ascension is only true if it aligns with what He taught. The doctrine of “unmerited favor” does not fit with the words of Jesus and is therefore false. No matter its origin, how long it has existed, or its popularity, it remains false. What Jesus taught is that it is the Father who sends us to the Son. And the Father only sends those who follow the same laws given to the nation He set apart for Himself with an everlasting covenant. God does not send declared disobedients to His Son. | “Ah, My people! Your guides lead you astray and destroy the paths you walk.” Isaiah 3:12
The reason why so many prayers do not receive a positive response from God is that most people in the church are not part of God’s people and therefore ask as outsiders. Listening to sermons and singing about God and Jesus does not make someone part of His people. God’s people are Israel, whom He set apart with an everlasting covenant after approving Abraham. Any Gentile can join Israel and be blessed by God, as long as they follow the same laws the Lord gave to Israel. The Father sees the faith and courage of this Gentile, despite the difficulties. He pours out His love on them, unites them with Israel, and leads them to the Son for forgiveness and salvation. This is the plan of salvation that makes sense because it is true. | The Gentile who joins the Lord to serve Him, thus being His servant… and who holds fast to My covenant, I will also bring them to My holy mountain. (Isaiah 56:6-7)
When we hear what is taught about salvation, we must adopt the stance of accepting only what aligns with the words of Jesus; otherwise, we will be deceived. Christ did not change the plan of salvation that has existed since the days of the patriarchs. Do not accept the lie just because the majority accepts it. The Gentile seeking salvation in Jesus must follow the same laws the Lord gave to the nation He set apart for Himself with an everlasting covenant. The Father sees the faith and courage of this Gentile, despite the challenges. He pours out His love on them, unites them with Israel, and leads them to the Son for forgiveness and salvation. This is the plan of salvation that makes sense because it is true. | “Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.” (2 John 9)
There are many people in the church who live in constant suffering. If they are in the church, it should not be this way, but it is. The reason is that they have been led to believe the lie that they do not need to obey the holy and eternal Law of God to be in communion with the Lord. But the truth is that they are not well. God made it clear that blessings, protection, deliverance, and salvation are for His faithful children, who strive to follow His laws revealed in the Old Testament and in the Gospels by Jesus. Salvation is individual. Do not follow the majority just because they are many. Obey while you are alive. | “Oh, that their hearts would be inclined to fear Me and keep all My commandments always, so that it might go well with them and their children forever!” Deuteronomy 5:29
No Gentile will be saved because they did not deserve it, but because they pleased God in their life, like Abraham, Enoch, Noah, Moses, David, Joseph, Mary, and the apostles. The false doctrine of “unmerited favor” has no support in the Old Testament or in the words of Jesus in the Gospels. Merit is something that belongs to God, who searches hearts and decides for Himself whether someone deserves it or not. Jesus taught us that it is the Father who sends us to the Son, and the Father only sends those who follow the laws He gave to the nation set apart for Himself with an everlasting covenant. God watches us and, seeing our obedience even in the face of opposition, He unites us with Israel and leads us to Jesus. This plan of salvation makes sense because it is true. | “Blessed are those who hear the word of God [Old Testament] and obey it.” Luke 11:28
If there were a plan of salvation for Gentiles outside of Israel and without the laws God gave to Israel, it would imply that God had broken the eternal covenant He made with Abraham, through which other peoples would be blessed through him. However, in no Gospel did Jesus say that He came to found a new religion for Gentiles, separate from Israel. Any Gentile can be brought to Jesus by the Father and be saved, but they must follow the same laws He gave to Israel, the nation chosen for His honor and glory. The Father sees the faith and courage of this Gentile, despite the challenges, pours out His love on them, unites them with Israel, and leads them to the Son for forgiveness and salvation. This is the plan of salvation that makes sense because it is true. | The Gentile who joins the Lord to serve Him, thus being His servant… and who holds fast to My covenant, I will also bring them to My holy mountain. (Isaiah 56:6-7)
When a church teaches that it is good for a Christian to obey some of God’s commandments but that it does not affect salvation, it is being used by the serpent. The devil always speaks this way: evil disguised as good. If they said that it is not necessary to obey any commandment, the shock would be too great, and Satan is not foolish. The truth is that nowhere in the Old Testament or in the words of Jesus in the Gospels do we see that obeying God’s Law is optional for salvation. To be saved, the soul must be sent to the Son by the Father, and the Father will never send someone who knows the laws He gave us through His prophets but blatantly disobeys them. | “Ah, My people! Your guides lead you astray and destroy the paths you walk.” Isaiah 3:12
The situation of the Gentiles is much more serious than what leaders teach. Jesus’ focus was never on outsiders but on those who belong to His people: Israel. His contact with Gentiles was minimal, and to deny this is to reject the facts clearly described in the Gospels. The common teaching in churches suggests that God is eager to save Gentiles to the point of not even requiring them to obey His laws revealed by His Old Testament prophets. This teaching is completely false, and Jesus never taught such a thing. What Jesus taught is that it is the Father who sends us to the Son. And the Father only sends those who follow the same laws given to the nation He set apart for Himself with an everlasting covenant. God does not send declared disobedients to His Son. | “I have revealed Your name to the men You gave Me out of the world. They were Yours; You gave them to Me, and they have obeyed Your word [the Old Testament].” John 17:6
With mouths full of theological jargon and impactful phrases, many leaders teach that if someone who has accepted Jesus decides to obey all the commandments of Jesus’ Father, instead of going to heaven, God will send them to hell, because, according to them, that person would be rejecting the Son. This fantasy has no basis whatsoever in the words of Jesus in the Gospels and is therefore of human origin. What Jesus made more than clear is that it is the Father who sends us to the Son. And the Father only sends those who follow the same laws given to the nation He set apart for Himself with an everlasting covenant. God watches us and, seeing our obedience even in the face of opposition, He unites us with Israel and delivers us to Jesus. | “No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day.” John 6:44
When Jesus said that everyone who believes in Him will be saved, He was speaking to Nicodemus, a Jewish leader. Like many Jews at the time of Jesus, Nicodemus strictly followed the laws of Israel, but he lacked the acceptance that Jesus was the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world, thus fulfilling the two divine requirements for salvation: to believe and to obey. For today’s Gentiles, the opposite occurs. They accept the authority of Christ but refuse to obey the laws of God revealed to the prophets in the Old Testament. The Father does not send the disobedient to the Son. Salvation is individual. Do not follow the majority just because they are many. Obey while you are alive. | The Gentile who joins the Lord to serve Him, thus being His servant… and who holds fast to My covenant, I will also bring them to My holy mountain. (Isaiah 56:6-7)
