<p>4:3 <i>And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those that perish</i>- The limitation of salvation to those who accept Christ couldn't be more clearly stated. Belief in <i>God</i> is not enough. The Jews strongly believed in &quot;one God&quot; but they would still perish without Christ. Liberal Christians seem to think that belief in God is somehow a saving grace; but salvation is in His Son. It was the face of Moses which was veiled, and Paul hereby identifies himself and all Christian preachers with Moses. This was radical stuff for Judaists, who considered Moses the acme of spiritual attainment and effectively unreachable and devoid of equal amongst subsequent generations. The implication is also that &quot;our Gospel&quot; was the message of the glory of Christ, it was and is totally Christ centred. The veil was belief in the Law of Moses for salvation; this in fact led to their 'perishing' in that it prevented them seeing the glory of the Lord Jesus.</p>
