Romans 1:16, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” 1st Corinthians 1:18, “For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.”
One of my web visitors recently said to me:
“I think you should do some more articles for Jews. They denied Jesus for 2000 years, so normal evangelizing won't really work. I suggest you use Isaiah 52-53 as proof that Jesus is their Messiah.”Although sincere in his intent, the Gospel is the only way to be saved. The Bible is very clear that Jews don't get their own plan of salvation. As Romans 1:16 says, "the Gospel" is the power of God unto salvation, to them that believe.
Romans 1:16, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. There is no other way to be saved.”The Bible says the Gospel was given to the Jewish people first in time, but then to the Gentiles. If a Jew is too proud to humble them self to come to Jesus Christ, then they will go to Hell, and it will be only their fault.
I just had a man try to promote the Hebrew Roots Movement on my Facebook page, and I had to refute that heresy and remove his comment. I wrote this article in response.
The Hebrew Roots Movement is Satanic! Jews don't need a different method of witnessing to get them saved. The Bible does not say that at all. Nicodemus was a religious ruler of the Jews, and Jesus plainly warned Nicodemus that unless a man is born again, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God (John 1:1-7). So Jews, just like Gentiles, must be born anew from above by faith alone in Jesus Christ. Acts 4:10-12 says that salvation is not found in any other name, than that of the Lord Jesus Christ. Some people are trying to replace Jesus with Yeshua, but that is unbiblical. God has exalted ONLY the name of Jesus, and no other name is to be compared in greatness (Philippians 2:9-11).
Judaism is a false religion, which rejects the New Testament, seeking to re-establish the Old Testament religion of salvation by keeping the deeds of the law. God never intended for anyone to get to Heaven by keeping the law. Romans 3:19-20 teaches that the purpose of God's law is to silence all humanity of their self-righteousness boasting. That is why Jesus used the law to silence the rich young ruler, who boasted that he had kept the law from his youth. Clearly he hadn't, because he was covetous, and a dirty sinner still.
1st Corinthians 1:18, “For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.” So if unsaved Jews refuse to come to the cross to be saved by faith, they have fallen from grace and there is no hope for them. If the Gospel has to be corrupted, to include the works of the law, and replace the name of Jesus, then it is another Jesus, another Spirit, and another gospel, which cannot produce the new birth (2nd Corinthians 11:3-4). There is only ONE GOSPEL according to the Word of God. So the people saying, that unbelieving Jews need to be evangelized in a different way, don't know what they are talking about Scripturally...
Galatians 1:6-9, I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.”
