How do we know the Gospel is for all nations?

Answered in 2 sources

The universality of the Gospel is confirmed in Ephesians 3:6, where the Apostle Paul states that Gentiles are included as part of God's promise through Christ.

The Apostle Paul explicitly states in Ephesians 3:6 that the Gentiles are fellow heirs of the promise of Christ by the Gospel. This assertion indicates that the purpose of Christ’s redemptive work extends beyond the Jewish nation to encompass all people. In historical context, this was a radical revelation, as salvation had been primarily understood within the bounds of Israel. However, with Christ's atoning work and the subsequent unveiling of the Gospel, we see God's intent to unite both Jews and Gentiles into one body through the Spirit, showcasing His sovereign grace. This profound mystery highlights the endless reach of God's mercy and is a vital principle affirming that the Gospel is available to all who believe.
