Paul made Christianity a religion which was accessible to the gentiles (the non-Jews) of the Roman Empire. Prior to this the Christians were Jews who saw Jesus as the promised messiah of the Jews, preached the word of Christ in Judea to fellow Jews and and still followed Jewish laws, customs and rituals and went to the synagogue Paul created a theology based on Christ, rather than on the Mosaic Law and established the fundamental beliefs of Christianity: that God sent his Son who was crucified for the benefit of humanity and that his resurrection brought the promise of salvation to believers. He said that to be a Christian you needed to have faith in Christ and follow his teachings. This was enough for salvation. He distinguished Christianity from Judaism by saying that humans are saved from sin by faith and not by following rituals or a law as the Jews believed. You did not have to follow Jewish law and you did not have to be a Jew.The Torah was not necessary for salvation, Jesus alone was decisive. Thus, gentiles (non-Jews) could convert to Christianity . Paul made Christianity accessible to everyone and laid the foundations for the conversion of the anyone in the Roman Empire.
