Given to the Gentiles

By Editor

Given to the Gentiles.—Says a clerical correspondent: "Please show from the Bible where a Sabbath was ever given to the Gentiles." And we could answer, Please show from the Bible where any promise is given to the Gentiles. The Gentiles get blessing when they come to the light of God's people. But here is an answer to the above demand: "Also the strangers [those not of Israel], that join themselves to the Lord, to minister unto Him, and to love the name of the Lord, to be His servants, every one that keepeth the Sabbath from profaning it, and holdeth fast by My covenant; even them will I bring to My holy mountain, and make them joyful in My house of prayer." Isa. 56:6, 7, R.V. God's promises to the Gentiles are dependent on their attitude to His law and covenant.
