How do we know that salvation is for Gentiles as well as Jews?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible reveals that many will come from the east and west to partake in the kingdom, indicating salvation is for Gentiles and not just Jews.

In Matthew 8:11-12, Jesus clearly states that many will come from the east and west to sit with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven while those who were children of the kingdom (the Jews) will be cast out. This illustrates the radical inclusion of Gentiles in God's redemptive plan, emphasizing that God's grace transcends ethnic boundaries. Throughout Scripture, from the covenant promises to Abraham to the apostolic teachings in the New Testament, we see the unfolding of God's plan that includes all who believe, regardless of their ethnic origin. Romans 10:12 further supports this by stating that there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; all have access to the same Lord who is rich in mercy to all who call upon Him.
