On the topic of a goy’s value in serving Hashem:
The Gemara says (Sanhedrin 3a): אפילו נכרי ועוסק בתורה שהוא ככהן גדול
A goy who learns Torah (referring to Torah about Sheva Mitzvos) is like a kohen gadol!
Meiri: מכבדין אותו אפילו ככהן גדול
(However, a Jew who learns Torah is GREATER than a kohen gadol -Tosfos)
When Moshiach comes, the Rambam writes (הלכות מלכים ספי”ב): לא יהי’ עסק כל העולם אלא לדעת את השם בלבד ולפיכך יהיו ישראל חכמים גדולים.
The occupation of the ENTIRE WORLD (goyim) will only be the knowledge of Hashem, and the Yidden will have a deeper understanding.
