Has God closed the door on Jewish people?
God has not closed the door on the Jews. In this age of grace, salvation remains open to them, though most are blinded and cannot see that the One their forefathers crucified is the One they must come to for salvation. There is no difference between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is rich to all who call on Him.
Les explains that in the Old Testament, God primarily dealt with the nation of Israel from Abraham onward, marking that period 'Jew only, with exceptions.' There were a few Gentiles, such as Jonah sent to Nineveh, Naaman the Syrian, and Ruth the Moabite. But now, in the age of grace, the situation is reversed: God is primarily calling out Gentiles, though a few Jews are also being saved. Les emphasizes that God has not closed the door on the Jew. The door remains open, but most are blinded and cannot see that the One their forefathers crucified is the One they must come to for salvation even today. Romans 3 confirms there is no difference between Jew and Greek; the same Lord over all is rich unto all who call upon Him.
