How was the dispensation of the grace of God given to the Gentiles?
The dispensation of the grace of God was given to the Gentiles by revelation from God to the apostle Paul, not through a seminary or theologian. Paul then took these doctrines of grace to the Gentiles, just as Moses delivered the law to Israel.
Les explains that in Ephesians 3, Paul writes as a prisoner of Jesus Christ for the Gentiles. The dispensation of the grace of God was given to Paul by revelation, not by attending a seminary or consulting a theologian. Just as God gave the law to Moses, who delivered it to Israel, God gave the doctrines of grace to the apostle Paul, and Paul took them to the Gentiles. This mystery was not made known in other ages but is now revealed to the holy apostles and prophets, with others like Barnabas and Silas following.
