Ephesians 2:11-12
King James Version
11 Wherefore remember,
that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh,
who are called Uncircumcision
by that which is called the Circumcision
in the flesh made by hands;
12 That at that time ye were without Christ,
being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel,
and strangers from the covenants of promise,
having no hope,
and without God in the world:
Who are Gentiles?
How much does GOD love non-Jews?
He loves us, enough to send His only beloved Son, JESUS, to the cross.
Scripture speaks of the SON's sacrifice, and love for man.
Apostle Paul tells us, through his Epistle to the Ephesians:
Ephesians 2:1
King James Version
2 And you hath he quickened,
who were dead in trespasses and sins;
Ephesians 2:2-3
King James Version
2 Wherein in time past
ye walked according to the course of this world,
according to the prince of the power of the air,
the spirit that now worketh
in the children of disobedience:
3 Among whom also we all had
our conversation in times past
in the lusts of our flesh,
fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind;
and were by nature the children of wrath,
even as others.
Ephesians 2:4-5
King James Version
4 But God,
who is rich in mercy,
for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5 Even when we were dead in sins,
hath quickened us together with Christ,
(by grace ye are saved;)
Ephesians 2:6-7
King James Version
6 And hath raised us up together,
and made us sit together in heavenly places
in Christ Jesus:
7 That in the ages to come
he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace
in his kindness toward us
through Christ Jesus.
Ephesians 2:8-10
King James Version
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith;
and that not of yourselves:
it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works,
lest any man should boast.
10 For we are his workmanship,
created in Christ Jesus unto good works,
which God hath before ordained
that we should walk in them.
Ephesians 2:13-16
King James Version
13 But now in Christ Jesus
ye who sometimes were far off
are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
14 For he is our peace,
who hath made both one,
and hath broken down
the middle wall of partition between us;
15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity,
even the law of commandments
contained in ordinances;
for to make in himself of twain one new man,
so making peace;
16 And that he might reconcile both unto God
in one body by the cross,
having slain the enmity thereby:
Ephesians 2:17-18
King James Version
17 And came and preached peace to you
which were afar off,
and to them that were nigh.
18 For through him we both have access
by one Spirit unto the Father.
Ephesians 2:19-22
King James Version
19 Now therefore
ye are no more strangers and foreigners,
but fellowcitizens with the saints,
and of the household of God;
20 And are built upon the foundation
of the apostles and prophets,
Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
21 In whom all the building fitly framed together
groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
22 In whom ye also are builded together
for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
