One of the main reasons that will lead millions of Gentiles to the lake of fire is the almost irrational instinct to believe that the crowd must be right. Salvation is individual, and this is a blessing, because if it were collective, no one would ascend, since the majority stray from the narrow path that leads to the door of salvation. It is rare to find, within the church, a soul that desires to please God to the point of obeying the laws He clearly commanded us. Once again, salvation is individual. No Gentile will ascend without seeking to follow the same laws given to Israel, laws that Jesus Himself and His apostles followed. Do not follow the majority just because they are many. Obey while you are alive. | The foreigner who joins himself to the Lord, to serve Him, being thus His servant… and who keeps My covenant, I will also bring to My holy mountain. (Isaiah 56:6-7)
A fatal error among the Gentiles is to imagine that Jesus is accessible to anyone without first going through the approval of Jesus’ Father. When a Gentile expresses the desire to receive forgiveness, blessings, and salvation, God examines the heart of that individual to check if the desire is genuine. That Gentile is then subjected to the test of obedience to the laws that were given to the nation that God set apart for Himself with an everlasting covenant. If approved, the Father integrates him into Israel, blesses him, and sends him to the Son. This plan of salvation makes sense because it is the true one. Salvation is individual. Do not follow the majority just because they are many. Obey while you are alive. | “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has enabled them.” John 6:65
The focus of God the Father and Jesus has always been Israel, the nation that God set apart for His honor and glory. All promises of blessings were destined for Israel. The few times God blessed other peoples were as a reward for helping Israel, as happened with the midwives in Egypt. To deny this is to deny the facts clearly revealed in the Old Testament and Jesus’ words in the Gospels. Any Gentile can join Israel and be blessed by God, as long as they follow the same laws that 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. | “As the laws of the sun, the moon, and the stars are unchangeable, so also the descendants of Israel will never cease to be a nation before God forever.” Jeremiah 31:35-37
There will be no spiritual or material progress in a Gentile’s life until they have faith, courage, humble themselves, and join the nation that God set apart for Himself with a perpetual covenant. There is no plan of salvation for Gentiles outside of Israel. This lie of the devil has blocked countless blessings and liberation, because the most precious promises of the Scriptures are reserved for Israel. The Gentile who seeks blessings and salvation in Jesus must follow the same laws that the Lord gave to the nation He set apart for Himself with an eternal 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 sends them to the Son. This plan of salvation makes sense because it is true. | “Oh, that their hearts would be inclined to fear me and keep all my commands always, so that it might go well with them and their children forever!” Deuteronomy 5:29
For centuries, the church has taught that the individual who decides to obey God’s laws is rejecting the Son of God and will be condemned at the final judgment. Without a shred of support in the Old Testament or Jesus’ words in the four Gospels, they claim that, by following Christ, the sinner cannot obey God’s Law, but also cannot intentionally sin (which is disobeying the Law). It is one contradiction after another, but no one cares, because what they really like about this doctrine is the illusion of being able to enjoy worldly pleasures and still ascend with Jesus. The truth is that we are saved by pleasing the Father and being sent to the Son, and the Father will never send declared disobedients to Jesus. | “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day.” John 6:44
Obeying the Father does not mean rejecting the Son. This is one of the most diabolical lies that has ever existed on this planet, yet millions of people in churches accept it without question. This lie is part of a set of doctrines created by men, inspired by the devil, shortly after Jesus returned to heaven, with the aim of leading Gentiles to disobedience, which leads them to eternal death. People love this doctrine because it feeds a false hope of salvation without the need to follow God’s laws. The truth is that, to be saved, the Gentile 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. | “Here is the perseverance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus.” Revelation 14:12
The idea that Gentiles cannot contribute to their own salvation is the serpent’s greatest success since the day it managed to deceive Adam and Eve, leading them to disobey God with its lies disguised as truths. Neither the prophets nor Jesus ever taught this absurdity. If no one could do anything to please God and be sent to Jesus, the Lord’s commandments would not even exist. One of the main functions of God’s Law is to separate the faithful from the unfaithful. It is by obeying that we show God how much we desire to be with Him in heaven, and it is by observing our obedience that the Father sends us to the Son. Salvation is individual. Do not follow the majority just because they are many. Obey while you are alive. | “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day.” John 6:44
When God gave His commandments, the expectation was clear: that they be obeyed. To reinforce this, God warned His people about the consequences of disobedience, promising blessings if they obeyed and curses if they did not. However, the false doctrine of “unmerited favor” completely distorted the Scriptures. According to this teaching, popular in many churches, obeying the commandments is seen as a risk, as the individual might be trying to ”earn” their salvation and end up condemned. On the other hand, ignoring the commandments would be proof that the person recognizes they do not deserve it, and then salvation is guaranteed. Do not follow the majority just because they are many. Obey while you are alive. | “You have commanded your precepts, that we should keep them diligently.” Psalms 119:4
Since ancient times, Gentiles like Jethro, Rahab, Ruth, Uriah, and Obed-Edom joined Israel, and God made it clear that the laws and blessings intended for the Jews also applied to them. This is the only path of salvation for Gentiles created by God, and the Lord made this evident to Abraham when establishing His covenant of fidelity, sealed by the act of circumcision: the Gentiles of his household would also be circumcised and be part of the covenant. All of Jesus’ relatives, friends, and apostles were faithful to God’s laws, including circumcision, and in none of the four Gospels did Jesus teach us that Gentiles were exempt from His Father’s laws. Salvation is individual. Do not follow the majority just because they are many. Obey while you are alive. | There shall be one law for the native and for the stranger who sojourns among you. (Exodus 12:49)
Any doctrine about salvation needs a prior delegation from God. As soon as Jesus returned to the Father, the revelations about salvation were concluded. If someone presents a different form of salvation than what Jesus taught in the four Gospels, we can be sure it is false. It is through prophecies that we identify God’s envoys. John the Baptist and Jesus were sent, as they fulfilled the prophecies, but there are no prophecies about sending anyone after Christ. The doctrine of “unmerited favor” was not taught by Jesus, and it is false from beginning to end. The Father only sends to the Son those who seek to follow the laws given to Israel, laws that Jesus and His apostles followed. | “The word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day. For I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment—what to say and what to speak.” John 12:48-49
