Les Feldick Bible Study

Does God treat Jews and Greeks differently regarding salvation?

God does not make a distinction between Jews and Greeks in salvation today. There is no difference between the Jew and the Greek in God's dealing in salvation. Both are saved by believing the word of truth, the gospel that Christ died, was buried, and rose again, and both are sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise.

Les explains that Paul always writes to believers, and for the most part Gentile believers, but the Jew is not left out because there is no difference today between the Jew and the Greek so far as God's dealing in salvation is concerned. The Ephesians were primarily Gentiles, yet Paul's words apply to us today. Salvation comes after hearing the word of truth—the gospel that Christ died, was buried, and rose again—and believing. Nothing else is required except believing, and the believer is then sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise.
