Romans 3:29-30 (The good news)

Romans 3:29-30 Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also, 30since God is one. He will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith.

Paul is pointing to one, and only one, way to salvation for all people. Both Jews and Gentiles are saved through faith alone. In the book of Romans, Paul explains over and over that there is only one people of God and they are saved by grace alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone. The covenant promise is for the elect, and the elect are the true Israel of God. The true Israel of God is the elect remnant of ethnic Israel and the elect of the Gentiles from every tongue and tribe in the world. The non-believers of ethnic Israel and the non-believers of Gentiles are in the same boat of being unsaved. There are no spiritual covenants that include entire nations, and there are no spiritual covenants that necessarily include entire family or church groups. God saves individuals and not groups or nations.

One promise, one people, one means of salvation, one destiny. There are no other roads to the mountaintop and no other means that men can be made right with God. God has provided the way to be saved from his holy and righteous wrath, and all the ways that men may devise or imagine are simply worthless.

Praise God that he provided one way for human beings to have eternal life. How ludicrous it is for anyone to complain that God does not accept the false Gods of their imagination.
