Jesus made it clear that no one can come to Him unless the Father sends him. This leads us to the question: what is the Father’s criterion for sending someone to Jesus? According to the doctrine of “unmerited favor,” seeking to obey the laws given by God through the prophets of the Old Testament is ”trying to earn salvation” and leads to condemnation. But if obedience is not God’s criterion, then the only option would be to ignore or disobey the Father in order to be sent to the Son. Thinking this way, almost no one in the churches seeks to obey the commandments, but in none of the gospels did Jesus teach such an absurdity. No gentile will rise without seeking to follow the same laws given to Israel, laws that Jesus Himself and His apostles followed as our example. | “You have commanded your precepts to be kept diligently.” (Psalm 119:4)
