Can a Jew be saved?
The apostle Paul explains that the Israel Nation has been set aside because of their rejection of the Lord Jesus as their Messiah. He came unto his own, and his own received him not (John 1:11). So the Nation was set aside and the door to salvation was opened to Gentiles.
Isaiah 49:6 And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.
The Apostle Paul comments on this in his letters to Rome and Galatians.
Romans 4:9 Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.
Romans 11:1-2 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel saying,
Romans 11:11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.
Galatians 3:14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
But Jews as indiviuals still can be saved. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. (Romans 10:12)
All a Jew or Gentile (as an individual) has to do to be saved is found in
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 (Death, Burial and resurrection) and explained in Romans 10:9-13. (The Lord Jesus is God).
