Gentile Mission

The Gentile Mission refers to the early Christian movement's outreach to non-Jewish people, emphasizing the inclusion of Gentiles in the covenant of grace through faith in Jesus Christ.

The early church was predominantly Jewish, and the inclusion of Gentiles posed significant theological and cultural challenges. The Jerusalem Council (Acts 15) addressed these issues, affirming that salvation through Christ is available to all.
