Jesus Christ not only brought all of God's people (Jew and others) together as promised to Abraham before circumcision and the Law, but He also took the fence of the Law down that kept us from Him. We can never perfectly keep the Law because we are born evil, not good, in the sin of Adam. Now the cross stands between us and God's wrath on our sin; we are brought near - all in Christ who come to Him.
Ephesians 2:14-16
14 For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, 15 having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, 16 and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity.
