God knew before the foundation of the world who would believe and who would not. It was to small a thing that the suffering, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ be only for the Jews. The message that He gave to Abraham still continues to this day.."and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed" ~Genesis 12:8.
He extends His mercy and forgiveness to all men and it is up to us to accept it.
A person who convinces himself that he does not need forgiveness from the Holy One has already condemned himself.
Acts 13:47-48
47 For so the Lord has commanded us:
‘I have set you as a light to the Gentiles,
That you should be for salvation to the ends of the earth.’”
48 Now when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of the Lord. And as many as had been appointed to eternal life believed.
