2nd Term
MISSION TO THE GENTILES
The gentiles are the non-Jews. Before the advent of
Christianity, Judaism was the religion of the Jews. The Jews believed that they
are the ones that worship the only true God, and therefore, they are the only
ones that would be saved. Thus, they perceived others as the unfortunate people
that are doomed to destruction. However, no man but God has the master plan of
man’s salvation. Thus, God sent Jesus for the salvation of both the Jews and
the Gentiles. The church started in Jerusalem and spread across Jewish cities.
When it was time for it to advance into the gentile nations, the spirit of
Jesus arrested a man called Saul.
