What does the Bible say about the inclusion of Gentiles in the new covenant?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible affirms that Gentiles are included in the new covenant through Christ, as seen in Isaiah 56 and reiterated in the New Testament.
The Bible clearly teaches that Gentiles, represented by the 'sons of the stranger' and eunuchs in Isaiah 56, are included in the new covenant. This is significant because under the old covenant, certain individuals were restricted from entering into God's presence due to the law. However, Isaiah prophesies a time when those who were once excluded will be welcomed into God's house. The fulfillment of this prophecy is realized in Christ, who broke down the dividing wall between Jew and Gentile, as articulated by the Apostle Paul in Ephesians 2:14-16. Therefore, all who believe in Christ, regardless of their earthly heritage, have access to God and are considered part of His covenant family.
