The state of Gentiles before Paul was called to be the Apostle to the Gentiles:
Ephesians 2:11-13 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
1st wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision
2nd ye were without Christ,
3rd being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel,
4th strangers from the covenants of promise,
5th having no hope,
6th without God in the world:
7th who were far off.
But now in Christ Jesus ye (gentiles) who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 tells us what to believe and Romans 10:9-13 tells us what to do!
