Gentiles

 
are the nations of the earth excepting the seed of Abraham. Previous to the cross they were regarded as dogs, as afar off, but now on believing are on equal ground of blessing with the Jew (see latter part of Eph. 2.). Dispensationally, indeed, they are for the time in a position of greater favor (Rom. 11). We must remember that in Christ there is neither Greek (Gentile) nor Jew.
