Jews and Gentiles were and are being saved the same way, through faith alone, in Christ alone, by grace alone. So, as the Gentile who is saved does not become obligated to keep the Law and Jews who are saved are no longer obligated to keep the Law but both groups now live under the laws taught by Christ as articulated by the apostles in the New Testament for all believers.
