Lesson 3750

 (Lesson 3750)(04-25-22) Romans 15:8

    “Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:”

    Sadly, there are many who, today, erroneously believe that Jesus, during His time on earth, preached eternal salvation by grace, through faith. That contention is easily debunked because salvation by grace through faith (the new law) would not come to realization until Jesus had completed living out a perfect life and offering Himself up as a supreme sacrifice for the sins of the world.

    The message Jesus delivered before His death, burial, and resurrection, was that “the kingdom of heaven is at hand”, and was preached to the Jews (circumcision) only. 

    The message Jesus preached was to prepare the Jews for the coming of the new law of salvation by grace, through faith.

    After Jesus had been crucified, risen from the dead and ascended back to the Father, the true  gospel of salvation by grace through faith, as we know it today, was preached abroad and eternal rebirth and salvation was extended to the Gentiles also.~
