The reason God forbade Israel from having close relationships with neighboring nations is that the Lord knew the devil would use those pagan people to draw the chosen people away from His powerful commandments, and that would lead them to destruction. Jesus did the same with His apostles and disciples, teaching them to discard the human traditions of the Pharisees and to stand firm only in the pure Law that His Father gave to the prophets in the Old Testament. They accepted the Master’s teachings and remained faithful to each of God’s incredible commandments. We, Gentiles, must follow the same path of obedience if we truly wish to inherit eternal life. Do not follow the majority, obey while you are alive. | The Gentile who joins himself to the Lord, to serve Him, thus becoming His servant… and who remains firm in My covenant, I will also bring him to My holy mountain. (Isaiah 56:6-7)
