Gentiles are under the Law
If gentiles can sin and sin is the transgression of the law then gentiles are under the law. If not then Gentiles have no sin for where there is no law there is no sin, Romans 4:15. The law was not just for Israel but for the entire world so that all people are guilty of sin. Romans 3:9-26 Both Jews and gentiles are all under sin, the whole world subject to the law. Romans 6:23 wages of sin is death 1 Corinthians 15:56 sting of death is sin the power of sin is the law. A mixed multitude came out of Egypt with Moses not just Israelites but also gentiles Exodus 12:38, with that in mind see Deuteronomy 5:2-3. Jesus does not just save Jews from sin but also Gentiles.
Those who say or teach that gentiles were never under the law are saying gentiles cannot sin, if true they don’t need Jesus to be forgiven and will have all the rewards and blessings. Sin produces death so gentiles cannot die?! Gentiles never practiced the law and for this reason Paul, the Apostle to the Gentiles, explained how the law worked and that it applied to all people not just Jews. This law was to act like a schoolmaster to draw people to Christ once they realize their sin then when converted they are no longer under the law. The law is a tool God uses in the salvation process as it produces Godly sorrow that leads to repentance then conversion with the hope of being in the kingdom of God. The law for this reason is holy, just and good if used lawfully, not for self righteousness, but to attain the righteousness of God by faith.
All humanity ,except the saints, are under the law.
There is much more I could write but I hope this will serve to prove this truth.
