Paul the Apostle to the Gentiles
So glad you returned for more bible stories.
Okay, now that we know the story of the Israelites and the Gentiles we can now move forward and discuss Paul and his ministering to the Gentiles.
As we know Paul is an Israelite, He himself told us that in Philippians 3:4-5. Paul also tells us he is an apostle to the Gentiles in Rom.11:13. So hopefully I have established the fact that Paul is an Israelite and He is also the apostle to the Gentiles.
Paul wrote to the Gentiles in many books of the bible, from the book of Romans through to the book of Philemon, that's a total of thirteen books out of twenty- seven in the New Testament I think Paul really takes his ministry seriously, trying to get through to the Gentiles.
Paul speaks to the Gentiles in Rom. 3:29-30 telling the Gentiles that God is not only the God of the Israelites, but also the God of the Gentiles, saying, "Is He not also the God of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also,since there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith."
Most definitely if Paul is telling the Gentiles that God is also the God of the Gentiles, he has to be preaching the Son of God as well, because as we know God tells us that no man shall come to Him except through His only begotten Son. So Paul is ernestly trying to convert the hearts of the Gentiles to rely upon His Son to be saved through His Glory.
"To them (the Gentiles) God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of the mystery among the Gentiles: which is the Messiah in you, the hope of glory" (Colossians 1:27).
Meditate upon this verse until the next time we talk.
Stay tuned.....
