What does the Bible say about Jacob's response to the Gospel?

Answered in 1 source

Jacob recognized God's presence and awoke to the truth of the Gospel.

In Genesis 28, Jacob experiences a profound awakening after dreaming of a ladder connecting earth to heaven, which symbolizes Christ. This moment signifies Jacob's spiritual regeneration, as he realizes that the Lord is in this place, which he previously did not perceive. His acknowledgment 'Surely the Lord is in this place, and I knew it not' reflects a significant transformation, revealing the grace of being awakened to the truth of God’s presence and the Gospel’s embrace.
