Early Christians were initially slow to offer their message to non-Jews primarily due to their roots in Judaism, which emphasized a covenantal relationship with the Jewish people. They viewed their message as a fulfillment of Jewish prophecy and often sought to spread it first within their own communities. Additionally, cultural and religious barriers, along with the fear of persecution, made them cautious about reaching out to Gentiles. Over time, figures like the Apostle Paul played a crucial role in expanding the message to a broader audience.
