Les Feldick Bible Study

Who is the gospel of grace for?

The gospel of grace is for the whole wide world—black and white, rich and poor, east and west, regardless of Jew or Gentile. It is not limited to Israel or the covenant promises but goes out to all people, as revealed through the Apostle Paul.

Les explains that the theme of Galatians is that believers are not under law but under grace. He notes this statement came from the Apostle Paul, and that even Peter for the most part had no comprehension of God's move to come away from Israel and the covenant promises. Les emphasizes that this gospel of the grace of God goes out to the whole wide world—black and white, rich and poor, east and west, regardless, Jew or Gentile. He contrasts this with the claim that there is no difference between Peter's message and Paul's, saying the difference is daylight and dark.
