How do Gentiles fit into the salvation plan in the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

Gentiles are included in God's salvation plan, evident in their worship of Jesus and His response to their seeking.

The arrival of the Greeks in John 12 seeking Jesus highlights the inclusive nature of God's salvation plan, as Jesus acknowledges their desire. In His ministry, Jesus emphasizes that His mission extends beyond the Jews to include the Gentiles, as He mentions in John 10:16 about bringing other sheep. This was foretold in prophecies like those in Daniel 7:14, which describe the kingdom of the Son of Man encompassing all nations. Through Christ's death and resurrection, the barrier between Jew and Gentile is torn down, providing access to salvation for all who believe. Thus, the Greeks requesting to see Jesus signify the fulfillment of God's promise to redeem His elect from every tribe and nation.
