Today, Israel is set aside as a nation and God is dealing with them in discipline. However, individuals are being saved. Is this our desire and prayer for them? God’s desire is that all men would be saved (1 Timothy 2:4). Many people have a zeal for God, even those who follow false religions, but such zeal is of no value unless it is according to the knowledge of God’s Word. To seek to be righteous before God by keeping the law will always end in failure. But if anyone looks to Christ for salvation, his faith is counted for righteousness. The Bible clearly states that if you will confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you are saved. How simple the gospel is, and free too, because Jesus paid the price for our redemption on the cross. Now we can go out and tell others the good news of salvation. Is not the Lord happy when we do this? Does He not say, “How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace”? Moses’ law was not glad tidings! Therefore, when someone brings us the gospel, we ought to hear and believe the Word of God.
