Mt 21:38-44, Lk 20:17-18, Acts 4:11-12, Rom 9:30-33, Rom 10:11, 1Pt 2:4-8

In the Old Testament, God placed a solid foundation stone and said that those who do not believe in it will stumble upon it, and those who believe in it will never be disappointed. (Isa 28:15-16)

Isa 28:15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves: 16 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.

Jesus said that those who do not believe in the cornerstone of God will be deprived of the kingdom of God, just as the owner of a vineyard takes the land he had entrusted to the wicked farmer and gives it to a farmer who produces fruit. (Matthew 21:38-44, Luke 20:17-18)

Matthew 21:38 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance. 39 And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him. 40 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen? 41 They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons. 42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? 43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. 44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

Luke 20:17 And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? 18 Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

Jesus is the stone rejected by the Israelites and is the headstone of the corner of the house. There is no way of salvation except through Jesus. (Acts 4:11-12)

Acts 4:11 his is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. 12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

The Gentiles who believed in Jesus as Christ were righteous, and the Israelites who did not believe in Jesus as the Christ were judged by Christ. (Rom. 9:30-33)

Rom. 9:30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith. 31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness. 32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone; 33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

Those who believe in Jesus as the Christ will not be put to shame. (Romans 10:11)

Romans 10:11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
