Les Feldick Bible Study

Why is the Jew not left out when Paul writes mainly to Gentile believers?

The Jew is not left out because there is no difference today between Jew and Greek in God’s dealing in salvation. Paul writes mainly to Gentile believers, yet the same gospel applies to Jewish believers, since both are saved through believing the word of truth, not by any additional requirement.

Les explains that Paul always writes to the believers, and for the most part Gentile believers. However, 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 just as well to us today. The gospel is that Christ died, was buried, and rose again. After hearing the word of truth and believing, believers are sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise. Les emphasizes that there is nothing else in here except believing.
