All today are saved just like me, a heathen Gentile dog, by the Grace of God, through faith, for I cannot be saved as was the Jew by faith. Peter tells you this in the book of Acts 15:11, and Paul in Hebrews Romans 3:30.

We are in theWherefore they called these days Purim after the name of Pur. Therefore for all the words of this letter, and of that which they had seen concerning this matter, and which had come unto them, (27) The Jews ordained, and took upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all such as joined themselves unto them, so as it should not fail, that they would keep these two days according to their writing, and according to their appointed time every year; (28) And that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city; and that these days of Purim should not fail from among the Jews, nor the memorial of them perish from their seed.

See you in March. I'll be the one eating the hamantashen.
And a great heritage you should, and are to be pround of. This is why it is so wonderful for me as a heathen to be able to be saved. He didn’t have to, but He did, for on His first visit He said He did not come for Me. Oh the unsearchable Riches of Christ (Ephesians 3:8). Christian faith, ituttut
