What is the Gentile plan of salvation based on?

The Gentile plan of salvation is based not on temple worship or keeping the Law, but on the proclamation that Christ died and paid the sin debt. It is the free gospel of grace received by faith plus nothing, because Israel was set aside and salvation came to the Gentiles.

Les explains that even though God had chosen Israel, that favored nation failed and rejected their promises and Messiah. Therefore God turned to the Gentiles without the nation of Israel. This Gentile plan of salvation is not based on temple worship or keeping the Law. Instead, Paul trumpets the good news that when Christ died, He paid the sin debt, and salvation has come to the Gentiles as a free gospel of grace: faith plus nothing. Les also notes that this does not mean God is forever through with the Jew, because He will still come back to the Jew.
