But the message was not only for Jews. It was for all people, Jew and gentile. And it came to gentiles apart from observing the Jewish law. Thus, to be members of God’s covenantal people, it was not necessary for gentiles to become Jews.

They needed only to believe in the death and resurrection of the messiah Jesus. This was an earth-shattering realization for Paul.
