God loves the 'world' so much He sent His Son to be the sacrifice for all sin (John 3:16). God does not divide but unites all into His Family if willing:
Romans 3:28-30New King James Version (NKJV)28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law. 29 Or is He the God of the Jews only? Is He not also the God of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also, 30 since there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith.

The Book of Jonah is, in large part, a lesson about the universality of God. Jonah lived at a time when the greatest enemy of Israel was the Assyrian kingdom, with its capital of Nineveh. God sent Jonah there -- very unwillingly -- to prophesy to the Ninevites in order to get them to repent. Jonah is successful, but he hates it. He wants to see God destroy Nineveh. God's final words at the end of the book, scolding Jonah, are "You cared about the plant, which you did not work for and which you did not grow, which appeared overnight and perished overnight. And should not I care about Nineveh, that great city, in which there are more than a hundred and twenty thousand persons who do not yet know their right hand from their left, and many beasts as well!” A great extended parable making it clear that God cares about everyone.

Why do Jews call gentiles sinners?
Gentiles who sin are sinners, just as are Jews who sin. Gentiles are not considered to be sinners if they violate a prohibition only incumbent upon Jews, such as cutting themselves in mourning for a dead relative (as opposed to for idolatry).

What is a summary of the Jews and Gentiles?
It depends on what you are asking. The New Testament has many verses that discuss the Jews and the gentiles. The early church was comprised of some pagans and a number of Jews who had come to believe that Jesus was the messiah. There were some very real questions in those early days about whether only Jewish believers (Hebrew-Christians) were the authentic members of the church, and whether the gentiles would be saved. Interestingly, in other verses, addressed to Jews who did not accept Jesus, the question was whether a person who remained Jewish and did not accept Jesus could be a member of the new Christian faith. (The conclusion of the church was that they could not; believing in Jesus was essential to salvation, and anyone who did not accept him would not be saved.) The church ultimately rejected Jewish customs and practices like keeping kosher or being circumcised, and moved away from its Jewish roots; it instead decided that it would reach out to the gentiles, since most Jews did not seem eager to embrace the new Christian faith. Thus, there is a verse in Acts 11:17-19, which explains, "So if God gave them [the gentiles] the same gift as those of us who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ who was I to think that I could stand in god's way?" When they heard this, they had no further objections and praised God, saying, "So then, even to the Gentiles God has granted repentance that leads to life."

What is the difference between Christians and gentiles?
Generally speaking gentiles are people that are not Jewish. However that is with the exception of some Jews that are also Christians. Normally, in the New Testament at least, the contrast is made between Jews (God's chosen people) and Gentiles (Non-Jews). Most Christians are in fact Gentiles at the same time, so the two groups are not exclusive. The same would apply to Jewish Christians. Of course it must not be forgotten that many Gentiles are also not Christian and so there would be a difference in terms of them accepting or not accepting Jesus Christ.
