When Jesus said that everyone who believes in Him will be saved, He was speaking to Nicodemus, a Jewish leader. Just like many Jews in Jesus’ time, Nicodemus strictly followed the laws of Israel, but he lacked 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 happens. 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. The end has already come! Obey while you are alive. | The gentile who joins himself to the Lord, to serve Him, thus becoming His servant… and who holds firmly to my covenant, I will also bring them to my holy mountain. (Isaiah 56:6-7)
