to be specific, that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel,First, we all should thank God for this grace. He didn't have to make salvation possible for Gentiles. For that matter, He didn't have to make it possible for Jews, either. But He chose to do so, and we all must be eternally thankful for that.
Second, this truth Paul learned gave him a distinct purpose from the other apostles whose paths we have hard records of. Some like Peter may have occasionally ministered to the Gentiles, but Paul is the only one we know of who made it his primary target audience. Without this, the gospel might have never reached most of those saved since.
