How does the concept of grace relate to the Gentiles?

Answered in 1 source

Grace allows both Jews and Gentiles to be justified and included in God's promise through faith.

The concept of grace is pivotal to understanding the inclusion of Gentiles in the covenant promises of God. As Paul articulates in Ephesians 3:6, the mystery of Christ reveals that Gentiles are fellow heirs and partakers of God's promise through the Gospel. This grace signifies that salvation is available to all, irrespective of ethnic or cultural backgrounds. The Judaizers sought to impose the old covenant laws onto Gentile believers, but such actions are antithetical to the message of grace that offers a new identity in Christ. Grace dismantles the barriers that once existed based on ethnicity, uniting all believers in one body and affirming that all are equally recipients of God's saving work.
