The continent of Europe is not directly addressed in Scripture, but the Bible does mention various regions and peoples that would eventually comprise Europe. The apostle James writes to the twelve tribes scattered abroad, which likely included areas in Europe, in James 1:1. The New Testament epistles, such as 1 John and Jude, also address early Christian communities, possibly including those in European regions. As Jesus commissions His disciples in Luke 10:18-20, the stage is set for the gospel to spread throughout the known world, including Europe, where it would take root and flourish.

James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes of the Dispersion: Greetings.
So He told them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. Behold, I have given you authority to tread on snakes and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will harm you. Nevertheless, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”
Jude 1:1

Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and a brother of James, To those who are called, loved by God the Father, and kept in Jesus Christ:

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this world’s darkness, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate the people one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
