During His days on earth, Jesus was impressed by the faith of some gentiles, but even so never called them to follow Him. He made it clear that He did not come into the world to lead the gentiles, but to be the perfect and eternal sacrifice for the sins of His people, Israel. This does not mean that God does not save gentiles, but rather that the salvation of all souls stems from the covenant of faithfulness He made with Abraham. The gentile who wishes to be saved by Christ needs to follow the same laws that the Father gave to the chosen nation for His honor and glory. The Father observes his faith and courage, despite the challenges, pours out His love upon him, unites him with Israel, and leads him to Jesus. This is the plan of salvation that makes sense, because it is true. | “Jesus sent out the Twelve with the following instructions: Do not go among the gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans; but rather to the lost sheep of the people of Israel.” (Matthew 10:5–6)
