Hello . Gentiles!
And this is God’s plan: Both Gentiles and Jews who believe the Good News share equally in the riches inherited by God’s children. Both are part of the same body, and both enjoy the promise of blessings because they belong to Christ Jesus, NLT, Ephesians 3:6.
Gentile? Who? Me?
Gentiles, back in the day, were non-Jewish folks. Then, Gentiles were known as those who lived a vile, ungodly lifestyle. Perhaps, many of us were Gentiles or are still living that way in our time. Our Father says Gentiles are ignorant having hardened hearts against Him, Ephesians 4:18.
We don't have to stay Gentiles.
We don't have to continue living the Gentile life. That life is futile, worthless, without hope, and without God. But, when the light of the gospel of Jesus shines within, we see the beauty, love, grace, care, and promises of our Lord. It's worth waking up to God each morning. So you see, Gentiles in any age can receive salvation.
What are saved Gentiles like now?
First of all, folks accepting God's offer of salvation are Christians, like all Christians. Second, Christians love God, each other, and the lost (current Gentiles, you know). And third, their lifestyle is of morality and commitment to our Lord Jesus. Finally, It's a life of peace, love, blessings, expectant hope, awaiting heaven's glory, and walking with Jesus every day. We can be as close to our Father as we want. He's always there for us, waiting to hear from us. Our Father is divine glory and love. We follow Him wherever He leads.Tip: For the sake of our soul, let's commit to Jesus!O, Father, we hear You in Bible pages. We hear You in Your creation, and we hear You in our hearts. We see our children, knowing they are gifts from You. We see the beauty of the earth and know it's Your creation. Each day, we have You within our hearts, loving You, being loved by You, walking with You each step of our way home. Glory be to You, O Father. Praise You, Holy One! Thank You for Your indescribable gift of eternal life! In Your Son's Name! Amen!
