Can Gentiles be saved the same way Jews are saved?

Yes. Gentiles, as well as Jews, are saved by believing on the finished work of the cross. This truth was a mystery kept secret in God's mind until revealed to Paul, who proclaimed that both enter into a joint heirship with Christ for all eternity.

Les explains that this salvation for Gentiles was a mystery kept secret in the mind of God until it was revealed to Paul. During Christ's earthly ministry, Jesus only spoke of Himself and Israel. But now this secret is made manifest: Gentiles, as well as Jews, are saved by believing on the finished work of the cross. They enter into a joint heirship with Christ, not just for this life but for all eternity. Les cites Ephesians 3:9, Ephesians 6:19-20, and Colossians 1:26-27 to show that this fellowship was hidden from ages but now is revealed to the saints. He emphasizes the glorious prospect and assurance believers have.
