The Law and the Noahide
However,
converting to Judaism would not make the Gentile a better person. The
Gentile is considered “righteous” by observing the seven Noahide laws.
1) Prohibition
against idol worship
2) Prohibition against blasphemy
3) Prohibition against murder
4) Prohibition against adultery
5) Prohibition against theft
6) Prohibition against eating flesh torn from
a live animal or drinking it's blood
7) Establishing a legal system
So the
application of law is not the same for everyone. In the Mosaic law there are laws that apply
only to women, others to men. Some laws only apply to Levites, and others
to priests. When you live in the land there are laws that apply, that do
not apply when you are not in the land. There are also laws that apply
only when the Temple is standing. Likewise there are laws that apply to
Jews (the Children of Israel) that do not apply to Gentiles.
The laws
you are required to observe do not make you a better person. A male Levite
living in Israel is not inherently a better person than a female Danite
living in the diaspora. However, each person would have a different set of
laws to follow. It is the same for a Gentile who is only required to observe the seven Noahide laws.

Clorfene and Yakov Rogalsky in “The Path of the Righteous Gentile” write:
By
observing the Seven Noahide Commandments, a Gentile fulfills the purpose
of his creation and receives a share
of the World to Come, the blessed spiritual world of the righteous.
