Who is grace primarily for—Israel or the Gentiles?

Grace is not confined to Israel but is primarily extended to the Gentiles, while also including the Jew. This reflects the shift from the Law given to Israel to the doctrines of Grace revealed through Paul, showing God's broader purpose.

Les explains that the Law was given to Moses and came under Israel alone, not the rest of the world, though all the world came under its condemnation. Then Paul becomes the central character, and to him were revealed the doctrines of Grace, not Law. Grace is not confined to Israel but is primarily for the Gentiles, yet it also includes the Jew. This is part of the vast difference between Law and Grace, showing Scripture does not contradict but fits together.
