John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
1:15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
1:16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
Jesus is God in the flesh.
Jesus is all grace and truth; it resides in him and is bestowed upon undeserving mankind.
By grace Jesus shed his blood for the new testament to save Israel for the Davidic kingdom (Jeremiah 31:33 Mark 14:24).
Although Jesus was sent only to the house of Israel (Matthew 15:24), God by grace made provision to save the Gentiles also. Peter speaks of the grace that saved them as well as the Gentiles, to all who believed the word preahed unto them (Acts 15:11).
There is a future grace in which Israel will be a blessing to the Gentile nations in the Davidic kingdom (Isaiah 60:3).
We have received the grace of God in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 4:7 Romans 5:2) in our dispensation.
The grace of Christ Jesus has made us accepted in God (Ephesians 1:6).
We have redemption and the forgiveness of sins through his blood according to the riches of his grace (Ephesians 1:7).
We have been saved by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8).

Peter preached of a future salvation (shall be saved) to the one house of Gentiles he ever spoke to:
Acts 15:11 But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.
consistent with
1 Peter 1:7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
1 Peter 1:8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
1 Peter 1:9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
1 Peter 1:10 Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:
While Paul preached to Gentiles, present salvation!:
1 Corinthians 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
...
1 Corinthians 15:2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
...
Ephesians 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
...
Peter never preached Paul's gospel to the Gentiles of Cornelius' house. They heard a message consistent with the kingdom gospel only. I just wanted to make that clear.

Just a comment that in 1 Corinthians 15:2 I see as not being saved unto eternal life but being saved from error as can be seen as correcting falsehoods about the resurrection in verse 12.
Now don't get me wrong 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 is the gospel of salvation but they had to keep it in memory to be saved from error.
