1Tim 3:14-16, 16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Preached among the Gentiles, Believed on in the world, received up into glory.
We continue with the 6 pillars for truth that must be believed, received and not compromised. Pillar number 4. Christ preached among the Gentiles: Christ crucified was preached to the Gentiles.“The worst of men, and that by the express orders of Christ himself; and which was foretold in the prophecies of the OT, and yet was a mystery, hid from ages and generations past”(John Gill).
This is a great part of the mystery, that Christ was offered to the Gentiles as Redeemer and Savior; that whereas, before, salvation was of the Jews, the partition-wall was now taken down, and the Gentiles were taken in. What a wonderful knowledge that we the Gentiles are part of God’s plan for redemption. That the gospel of Christ was not for the Jews only.(Rom 11:11-36)
