"I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee." - A promise to Christians?

[Hello There]

In Hebrews 13:5

Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

This promise seems to be a quote of Deuteronomy 31:6

"Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or tremble at them, for the LORD your God is the one who goes with you. He will not fail you or forsake you."

Seeing as Hebrews was likely to be written to a Jewish Christian audience and that the quote is from the Old Testament. Can we form the conclusion that Christians who are gentiles are benificeries of this promise?

2 Cor. 1v20 - For all God's promises are “Yes” in him....

I thank Him, that he has grafted me into the olive tree so that I too can drink from it's life giving sap. The root is Abraham and the tree is faith. (romans 4).
