Gentile Faith

The concept of Gentile faith refers to the belief and acceptance of Jesus Christ by non-Jewish people, highlighting the expansion of the Gospel beyond the Jewish community and the inclusion of all nations in God's redemptive plan.

In the early church, there was significant tension between Jewish and Gentile believers regarding the inclusion of Gentiles in the faith. The Jerusalem Council (Acts 15) addressed these issues, affirming that salvation is through faith in Christ alone, not adherence to the Law.
