GOD IS NOT JUST FOR THE NATION OF ISREAL....HE ACCEPTS ALL THOSE WHO DO HIS WILL. READ ROMANS 3rd CHAPTER VERSES 9 THRU 31 What then? Are we in a better position? Not at all! For above we have made the charge that Jews as well as Greeks are all under sin;10just as it is written: “There is not a righteous [man], not even one;11there is no one that has any insight, there is no one that seeks for God.12All [men] have deflected, all of them together have become worthless; there is no one that does kindness, there is not so much as one.”13“Their throat is an opened grave, they have used deceit with their tongues.” “Poison of asps is behind their lips.”14“And their mouth is full of cursing and bitter expression.”15“Their feet are speedy to shed blood.”16“Ruin and misery are in their ways,17and they have not known the way of peace.”18“There is no fear of God before their eyes.” 19Now we know that all the things the Law says it addresses to those under the Law, so that every mouth may be stopped and all the world may become liable to God for punishment.20Therefore by works of law no flesh will be declared righteous before him, for by law is the accurate knowledge of sin. 21But now apart from law God’s righteousness has been made manifest, as it is borne witness to by the Law and the Prophets;22yes, God’s righteousness through the faith in Jesus Christ, for all those having faith. For there is no distinction.23For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,24and it is as a free gift that they are being declared righteous by his undeserved kindness through the release by the ransom [paid] by Christ Jesus.25God set him forth as an offering for propitiation through faith in his blood. This was in order to exhibit his own righteousness, because he was forgiving the sins that occurred in the past while God was exercising forbearance;26so as to exhibit his own righteousness in this present season, that he might be righteous even when declaring righteous the man that has faith in Jesus. 27Where, then, is the boasting? It is shut out. Through what law? That of works? No indeed, but through the law of faith.28For we reckon that a man is declared righteous by faith apart from works of law.29Or is he the God of the Jews only? Is he not also of people of the nations? Yes, of people of the nations also,30if truly God is one, who will declare circumcised people righteous as a result of faith and uncircumcised people righteous by means of their faith.31Do we, then, abolish law by means of our faith? Never may that happen! On the contrary, we establish law.
