Even more significant, Nicolas was a God-fearer—a Gentile convert to Judaism. His presence in the church and his appointment to such an important role was a clear signal that the gospel could not be constrained by nationality or ethnicity. Nicolas was an early reminder of the great commission and Jesus’ insistence that His good news is for “all nations” (see Matthew 28:19). Later, Nicolas’s hometown of Antioch would become the front line in the effort to spread the gospel among the Gentiles.

According to one tradition, Nicolas was responsible for starting the heretical group known as the Nicolaitans, who sought a “happy medium” between Christian faith and pagan practice in order to avoid being ostracized for their commitment to Christ (see Revelation 2:6, 15). However, there is no historical evidence to link the two.
