Salvation / I Am a Jew

By Nico Saaiman

Dear Friend, Welcome!
I’m so glad you are here. You are not here by accident. God knows your name, your story, and every detail of your life. You are deeply valuable to Him.

This invitation is for everyone—both Jew and Gentile.
The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is calling you. He has not forgotten His promises. His arms are open wide, and His heart overflows with love for you.

“Come, all you who are thirsty,
come to the waters;
and you who have no money,
come, buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk
without money and without cost.”
— Isaiah 55:1

This is an invitation to eternal life—a restored relationship with God—through Yeshua the Messiah (Jesus Christ), who fulfilled the words of the prophets and gave His life for your salvation.

“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son,
that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
— John 3:16

Yeshua came first for the lost sheep of the house of Israel, and He is still calling His people today. He is the promised Messiah, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29). Through Him, we are reconciled to God—not by our own efforts, but by grace through faith.

God’s Promise to Israel Fulfilled in Yeshua (Jesus)

You may be wondering:

“If I’m Jewish, why do I need to believe in Jesus?”

The answer is simple and profound:
Because Yeshua is the promised Messiah of Israel, foretold by the Hebrew prophets.
He didn’t come to start a new religion—He came to fulfill the covenant promises God made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

The Problem: Separation from God

The Tanakh makes it clear:

“All we like sheep have gone astray;
each of us has turned to our own way.”
Isaiah 53:6

Just like everyone else, Jews are not exempt from sin.
We all need atonement.
But since the destruction of the Temple in 70 CE, there has been no sacrifice for sin—no altar, no priesthood, no blood offering.

Yet God gave a promise:

“I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you.”
Ezekiel 36:26

“He was pierced for our transgressions,
He was crushed for our iniquities…
and the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.”
Isaiah 53:5–6

This is a clear picture of the Messiah—a suffering servant who would bear our sins.

The Fulfillment: The Messiah Has Come

Yeshua came exactly as the prophets foretold:

  • Born in Bethlehem – Micah 5:2
  • Lived a sinless life
  • Gave His life as the final atonement for sin
  • Died and rose again – Psalm 16:10

Through Him, God established the New Covenant, just as promised:

“Behold, the days are coming,” declares the LORD,
“when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah.”

Jeremiah 31:31

Yeshua Himself said:

“I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
Matthew 15:24

“Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets;
I did not come to abolish but to fulfil.”

Matthew 5:17

Yeshua is not “another god.”
He is the Word of God made flesh (John 1:1,14)—the promised Messiah who brings reconciliation to both Jew and Gentile.

Salvation Is for You — Jew

Faith in Yeshua is not a betrayal of your Jewish identity—
it is the fulfillment of it.

The first believers in Yeshua were all Jews.
The apostles, the writers of the New Testament, and Yeshua Himself were Jewish.
They believed—and boldly proclaimed—that He is the Messiah.

“Salvation is from the Jews.”
John 4:22

“To the Jew first and also to the Gentile.”
Romans 1:16

God has not rejected His people.
He is calling you now—in love—to receive His Messiah and be restored to Him.

What Must I Do?

  1. Recognize your need for atonement—we have all sinned and need forgiveness.
  2. Believe that Yeshua is the promised Messiah, who died and rose again for your salvation.
  3. Repent—turn away from sin and turn to God.
  4. Ask for forgiveness and invite Yeshua into your life.
  5. Begin a new life in relationship with the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—through His Son, Yeshua the Messiah.

“Whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.”
Joel 2:32; Romans 10:13

Will you open your heart today?

Will you believe that Yeshua is the Son of God, your Savior and Messiah?

You can pray right now:

“God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,
I believe You love me.
I believe that Yeshua is the promised Messiah who died for my sins and rose again.
I ask You to forgive me, cleanse me, and give me a new heart.
I receive Yeshua as my Savior and Lord.
I want to follow You from this day on. Amen.”

He is waiting for you—with love, mercy, and forgiveness.
